On the DVD, I'd have to agree. I can't see why I'd want to watch a dVd on a 7" screen, in the front seat of my car at all, much less while driving.

There is some navigation functionality to be gained, however. And these can be performed by a passenger, and would make sense to do while driving.

Its kind of unfortunate what's happened with these things over the years, but understandable at the same time. Hands free phones are required in many places, and I wouldn't be that surprised to see head units that won't even let you change stations or CD's with the vehicle moving come out in the future.

I was next to a lady the other day, who had her little baby in a carrier next to her in the front seat (it was a truck, so there was no back seat). She kept looking over and down at the baby, and attending to it with her 'free' hand. Seems more distracting than a cell phone to me.

Blame it all on the equipment, and never the driver.
