ARTICLE: Apple: Avoid death -- integrate iPod with your car

Quote: Originally Posted by Slashdot
Apple say they're keen to save the lives of anyone who risks death by "reaching into the footwell of his car to retrieve an iPod nano at around 90mph" and anyone who "considered skipping tracks on his iPod more important than the lives of multiple humans". Apple are also said to be "delighted by the efforts of Mac users who retrofit the Mac Mini into cars" and are "keeping an eye on what these hackers are up to with their Macs." The writer also pitched his own design ideas to Apple's director of global product marketing, Bob Borchers: "We suggested to Borchers that Apple should allow drivers to use their car steering wheel as a giant Clickwheel interface, so that you can change tracks by changing lanes. Borchers foresaw certain safety problems with such a device and rejected the concept."

Glad to hear that apple is taking notice :-)

I love the joke at the end about the steering wheel

That's awesome they look at this stuff. I wonder if Apple knows about this forum? (And I hope I don't get sued over ripping off FrontRow's look!) ... (off to check my email for legal notices)

Fixed your post

I saw this on Digg yesterday. Those fools took the steering wheel joke way too seriously. The way some people drive around here, i'd swear they do have their iPod hooked up that way
