"This is an interesting idea, but honestly I'd probably end up rear-ending someone if I did it."
Yes, this idea works best for long stretches of road with little traffic. The 45 mile stretch of highway I drive on is isolated.
"However, have you ever tried programming using text-to-speech? It strikes me as an experience that would be maddening."
Try downloading the evaluation version of DNS and give it a spin. I think you'll feel the potential pretty quickly, especially if you try making custom commands. The cumbersome nature of the speech-to-text interface may prove too much, but it's worth a try right?
What is maddening to me is giving up ~2 hours of the most productive time of the day. I was even desperate enough to try programming on a phone (a Peek email device).
"I have thought about taking a voice recorder with me just to dictate ideas though."
I've tried this as well, and it is not ideal. If you have ever sat down to design something and within minutes you abandon the design to start coding, you'll understand. Coding is the low-energy state.
