LAS VEGAS–To the dismay of safety advocates already worried about driver distraction, automakers and high-tech companies have found a new place to put sophisticated Internet-connected computers: the front seat.

Technology giants such as Intel Corp. and Google are turning their attention <span style="font-weight: bold">from the desktop to the dashboard, hoping to bring the power of the PC to the 70 million cars sold worldwide each year</span>

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS – Ford Motor Co. is adding Twitter messages and Internet radio to its in-car entertainment and communication service, known as Sync.

Ford hopes to entice consumers who are adept at using mobile applications on their cellphones. But CEO Alan Mulally told an audience at the International Consumer Electronics Show that because Sync is voice-activated, it's safer for drivers than using their phones in the car.

Ford executives said Thursday that Sync will begin working with Internet radio services Pandora and Stitcher. It also will connect to OpenBeak, which can read your or your friends' Twitter posts out loud.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Executives said Ford is talking with Google Inc. about bringing its services to cars as well</span>. Ford Sync was developed by Microsoft in 2007.

The Lexus HS250 have many functions that only work when the vehicle is stationary.
The Internet may be set to function in a similar fashion.

ther are also car TVs that only work when it is stationary.

So the technology to control that is out their I am sure the manufacturers will apply it if necessary.

That transmission lock-out feature can be over-ridden by grounding a single wire on many systems. How do I know? I did it on my indash pioneer nav system. Guaranteed that future web-based info systems can be rigged in the same way.

Their vehicles also does not have the crash protection and safety systems of North America.
It is all about the culture and what the laws allow.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: J kid</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Drivers watch an operate TV in di front of cars, while driving on di streets in S. Korea. </div></div>
