As a driver I can tell you that hell isn't other people: It's other drivers. Seriously, you wouldn't believe how many people there are on the roads that in any sane world should be banned from ever getting behind the wheel. Only a few weeks ago I lost a wing mirror to a car swerving into my lane on a 50mph road, presumably because its occupant was looking at their phone. So what cars really need is a few more distractions.
Take a bow BMW, which at this year's Consumer Electronics Show is bigging up its plans for in-car entertainment and "the digital customer experience." The company's new 5 Series is the first to incorporate what it calls the AirConsole, a platform that lets the car's occupants play games on the "infotainment" screens using phones connected via bluetooth as controllers.
