Topic: Chrysler's MyGIG communications and entertainment system

 As if cell phones and drinking coffee weren't enough to distract drivers.   I just know that the people who will buy this will be the people who drive across the 401 in rush hour in a totally distracted/half asleep/ disinterested way.

But I suppose it DOES suck up all the spare computer power available in the car... although I can imagine losing 10 bhp every time a new entertainment button is pushed

Don't most of these things lock out any usage when the car is in motion?

Car manufacturers should be covering themselves.

Otherwise, I agree. Although this might be one step above fiddling with an iPod.

Thanks a lot, Chrysler. It's not bad enough I have to steer clear of iDrive BMWs, now I have MyGig distraction to worry about.

In car entertainment means out of car chaos.
