The i-slam

[Aurel]

It will slam in your face when air-bag deploys. I did not find the thread for stupid inventions, so here it is:

[masraum]

Wow, you've gotta be kidding me.

I like "It's almost like a Heads Up Display for your car."

Yeah, airbag goes off, and you end up with a splitting (literally) headache.

[UconnTim97]

That can't be serious!

[porsche4life]

No dumbass, if you are reading that you are still distracted, and still a hazard....

[oldE]

OMFG!

Please tell me this is a joke. Pretty please?

[Aurel]

Duct Tape! Who woulda thought?

what you are all missing is the app that is specially designed for this application

the app uses the accelerometer inside the iPad to sense a rapid deceleration (just like the sensors that fire your air bags) -- once it senses an imminent crash, it displays a photo of a cream pie on the screen

[s_morrison57]

I'd get one for the x-wife but other people may be hurt

RWebb, that cream pie thing is too funny - hey are we talkin about the same thing here? First thing I thought of was not banana creame pie.

[sc_rufctr]

That would have to be one of the dumbest things ever. What an idiot!

Who really needs to view their iPad when driving?

I have a Blue Ant hands free speaker and for various reasons I decided not to use it any more.
Instead I simply don't answer the phone. If it's important they will leave you a message.

James May made an interesting observation about mobile phones and driving.
What's the difference between using hands free kit and holding the phone to your head? Non as far as he was concerned... and I agree with him.

[Flieger]

While I agree with you partially, you can at least have both hands on the wheel and the logic is that a hands-free phone is no more distracting than talking to a passenger (which can be very distracting).

Best thing is no phonr like you say.

[azasadny]

Reminds me of Nathan's invention in "The Jerk" with Steve Martin.

[pete3799]

What's next...... playing video games with the cruise control buttons?

[wdfifteen]

Randy's explanation was better than the original joke.

The video had me until he said, "Safer than other in-car driver distractions."

These responses to me are as much fun as the original joke.

Hint: It's a joke.

It's a joke.

Hey man! It's not real.

[teenerted1]

Please keep this idiot off the same roads I drive
