No!

This is just wrong:
A new study released this month at the Frankfurt Motor Show demonstrates that Internet access -- and other high-end digital applications -- will soon drive consumer purchases of automobiles. A copy of the study by Boston-based Strategy Analytics entitled "Frankfurt Motor Show 2005 Introduces Entertainment Choice" was provided to TechNewsWorld.

The study showed that car manufacturers are responding to the shift in consumer demand for entertainment choices in their vehicles. These car makers have been slow to react to shifts in consumer entertainment preferences in the past. But, the study said, the cars and SUVs on display at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2005 show in Germany indicate that manufacturers are "beginning to understand the need for flexibility in entertainment offerings," said the study.
Y'know, I don't need Web access in my car. And I think the more "entertainment options" (i.e., distractions) drivers have, the greater the carnage (as it were) is going to be. Heck, people are idiots behind the wheel as it is.
