This just doesent seem like a good idea to me...


Augmented Driving, the app uses the phone's built-in camera to view the road ahead and imaGinyze's to detect road obstacles, warning the driver of any potential hazards with voice notifications. It even claims "head-up display (HUD) for system and status information," though it achieves that not as a true projected HUD display, but simply on the iPhone's screen, mounted to the windshield.

Yeah, that's got Bad News and Law Suit written all over it. :nope:

How about an app that tells you to put the <expletive deleted> phone DOWN while you are driving?

You know what thats not a bad idea. Maybe an app that wont let you dial or text when traveling at speeds greater than 30mph. :yeah:

But then people would whine about not being able to use their precious cell phone while they are a passenger. :damn:

After all, it has been confirmed in "a study" that if you can't access your cell phone at least every 15 seconds you will die. :yep:
