Part A-Wi-Fi in the Car

In a news article on Wired.com was published on 12-21-2009, "Ford brings Wi-Fi to the Highway" http://www.wired.com/autopia/2009/12/ford-brings-wi-fi-to-the-highway/ raises health questions. The problem that arises from having Wi-Fi in cars is that it can be a huge distraction to the driver of the car and thus can cause health issues when car accidents are caused.

Ford is allowing the internet to be used by anybody who has the hardware, this means that you do not need to go out and buy a laptop just for the car. The Client needs to only plug into a USB drive and then they will be able to use the internet. Ford is just still just coming out with this so the specific information is still coming out.

The Major issue is arising because it seems very unsafe to have internet access in cars. Right now people are very distracted while they are driving and the last thing that they need is to be focusing on other things, like emailing, and reading the news while driving.
