"Ford Motor Co. says it will soon offer wireless mobile offices in its F-series pickups, an option aimed at building contractors and others who do business on the road." With a touch pad computer, printer and GPS all included (other options of digital camera and credit card scanner) what will be next to be placed in a car?"

    what will be next to be placed in a car?

    How about a driver who won't be distracted by all the crap that doesn't make the drive any safer?

      Never will happen. People get distracted while driving even without cell phones, makeup, etc. Ever seen what happens when there's an accident on the other side of the road?

      Most people can't seen to drive, extra devices or not.

      How about disabling any of the features that should not be used while driving unless the car is in park?
