18.01.10 new stupid ways to die
Okay, the world is now officially fucking insane. Car dashboards with integrated web browsers this year.
“Heading to Madison Square Garden for a basketball game? Pop down the touch pad, finger-scribble the word “Knicks” and get a Wikipedia entry on the arena, photos and reviews of nearby restaurants, and animations of the ways to get there.”
Can’t picture myself finger-writing “Knicks” on the dashboard while driving in NYC, without mentally killing a pedestrian and rear-ending a cab.
But don’t fret: these genuises have thought of everything. “A notice that pops up when the Audi system is turned on reads: ‘Please only use the online services when traffic conditions allow you to do so safely.’”
