  In some sense, if you stick an iPhone on a mount on the dash, then you can already be online. I'm pretty sure I saw a guy with just this setup the other day.

  "... Will drivers exercise good sense and not use their laptops while driving? ..." I do see some benefits. Imagine if you have voice output hooked up to GPS, some software and google maps. Location based information delivered to car based hardware will be in more demand.

      "... Isn't that essentially what the newer navigation systems are supposed to be doing? ..." Yes but using open data instead of closed services.

  I just took a cab to the airport. The driver was scheduling other trips and giving estimates of cost by using the gmaps iphone app. It wasn't a quick trip.

  I've used a laptop on the passenger seat in the past. That's why they call it wardriving.
