GPS’s are more of a convenience of the 20th/21st century – and people just use them simply because they are just as afforable as buying a roadmap every year.
However, i do agree with it being highly unnessesary having to log onto a social device while driving. Maybe internet in the car could come under “in-car entertainment” for the passengers, but why make it a big thing like it’s a “must have” for any road user.
I personally don’t even believe in the hands-free use of phones in cars simply because it’s distracting and silly. If it’s important, they can wait until i stop the car – on my terms.
I have been interested in installing a media centre in my car with 3g internet and a wireless hotspot – but the only time i have ever seen myself using it is when i’m sitting in the car, doing nothing.
