Posted by Soulskill on from the windshield-doubles-as-a-screen-for-a-driving-sim dept.

Gunkerty Jeb writes "It seems, and I think a lot of people have prophesied this for some time, that in-car features like internet radio and assisted driving technologies are surpassing horsepower, handling and design as automotive selling points. I just hope manufacturers have put in the time to consider all the security dangers that exist in owning internet synthesized cars."

    That's a great idea, then you will only be able to drive your car to government approved destinations, or at least the government will know when you drive your car to "inappropriate" destinations.

    Yeah, good thing we don't have that. Why, to do that with today's cars, the government would have to mandate some sort of identification plate on every vehicle, and then put up traffic-monitoring cameras everywhere.
