Now, a century or so later in the United States, we have legislators and automotive safety organizations suggesting that motorists should only do one thing -- drive -- when in a vehicle. The point here is that a hysterical reaction to the evolution of technology is not going to serve the best interests of any of us. Certainly driver... Full article...
