Car Gadgets

My B-I-L got a new SX4 a week back... And after the weeklong wait i finally got to check it out today(Our work timings are so different that i actually never got to even see the car for a week )

Apart from the plush interiors and the grandeur of the car.. what caught my eye were two gadgets.

One was a camera fitted at the rear end of the car, which assists the driver by giving a clear image of the rear when reversing.. as soon as u move to the reverse gear, the rear view mirror magically transforms into a TV screen for one to see what we are reversing into...

The only glicth is that this camera is fitted right in the middle of the bumper... Now the bumper is the first place to get ,well, yes, hit by any vehicle...so the costs of replacing the camera will be reeeeely high.

The second gadget is music controls on the steering wheel. I always found it hard to change channels while driving.. but now its simple, its right there on ur steering wheel.
Now let people complain saying this is a distraction.

Reminds me of a friend of mine who had a habit of catching up with his close friends while he drove to work or drove back home from work. I would freak everytime i hear a ohh shucks when he is on the phone with me and driving..But i must say he was pretty good at the multitasking and to what i know has never been caught and fined for speaking on the phone.

anyways.. he had this logic that if speaking on the phone was a distraction , then talking to the co passenger, changing channels on the radio, anything is a distraction :)

So for all those who cant multitask very well..... the controls on the steering atleast solve changing channels problem :)
