This explains why The Google is working on a car the drives itself (search news "drives itself") so wonketteers can post comments without recklessly imperilling the safety of others.

See, this is just another way for the Obarmist Jew-Nazis to take away our FREEDUMBS!11! Eventually, we'll all be in Govermint-controlled cars, and UNABLE TO CELL-PHONE FOR HELP when they automatically drive us to the Death-Panels.

Yes, but those "crash- notification services" will come in ever more handy!

Can someone explain to me, if we're all unemployed and foreclosed on, why Detroit is designing more and more bells and whistles for our electronic suicide machines?

Yeah, when will Warcraft add a app to let me upgrade my Tauren Shaman while driving?

And once the facebook in the car, they may find themselves faceplanting on the windshield.

You laugh...but back in the day I used to give a loser co-worker of mine to work. Christ she was annoying! But, luckily the bobbling Buddha on the dash entertained her no end. Her laugh was annoying...but much less than her voice or her idiotic opinions. That little bobble dude kept me from committing murder.

hey, if you survive the wreck you'll have to buy more cars. So there's that. Hard to think of it as a stimulus plan, though.

Facebook from the car? Awesome! I can't wait for the day when I'm driving to work in my 10 year old car, paying close attention to my driving, only to be t-boned and killed by some yuppie who is giggling on facebook about her baby's bowel movements...or to some adulterous guy who gets hot and distracted by his girlfriend's sexxxy comments on twitter.

You know what? Fuck this world.

Can anyone tell me what would need to take place on Facebook that is so important that you need to take care of it while hurtling hundreds of pounds of steel 70 mph on a highway filled with other steel things? Coz I just click like on my friends' baby pictures and stuff like that. I guess I'm missing something.

Nice idea...but what happens if while swerving out of the way of one car, you find yourself faced with another Facebook on the Road moran? You can't be lucky all of the time, and they have to be lucky just once.

I almost gave you a thumbs up but I find Bruce Cockburn insufferable.

When the indignation of "The government's telling me when I can use Facebook!" meets the paranoid of "The government's monitoring me through Facebook!", the cognitive dissonance could cause serious brain damage to those who can least afford it.

the only crash notification i'm interested in is the crash notification for facebook and twitter.
