I consider myself a great driver. I rarely use a cell phone while driving. All those distractions really scare me. Well now I m really scared, because our cars are about to become rolling multimedia command centers and entertainment palaces. I can just tell my insurance rates are about to skyrocket.
Satellite radio is cool.
But layer a complete wireless computer on top of all that radio technology and you have a distracting mess. Motorola will roll out its iRadio next year. With it, you can select radio stations based on format and music type, get directions and even check your stocks while driving. The in-dash LCD screen will display all the relevant information. I m not so sure real-time stock information belongs in a car.
