Bluetooth in Cars

Random thoughts after reading about a security test of the Toyota Prius

I don’t know if I’m getting conservative in my old age, or if people are going overboard with the propagation of technology. Would I really want bluetooth in my car? The thought of a teenage Zoe, sitting in the backseat, surfing the future internet and texting with her friends that she’d rather be with than being on a family road trip runs through my mind. Useless, and potentially malicious, hello kitty software being sent to her by her friends. All
through a bluetooth connection link to a GPRS global network that’s integrated with the control system of the car speeding down the interstate. Yes, Zoe will think that’s the saving grace of the whole trip.
