if i had a ipad on my sterring wheel then i would crash cause i would keep using it and forget the road

I think the sad part is.. even if this is a joke.. I'm willing to bet there will be an accident somewhere in the world with something similar sooner or later..

apple will just pay to keep it quite.

Does anyone one know when and where I will be able to get one of these? The reviews from the website have me sold!!!! I wanted to buy one but apparently they are out of stock.




Please note: sarcasm was used in this post.

While I haven't watched the video yet (unable to at work), maybe this isn't all that far fetched...worse ideas have hit the market.


Amazon.com: Laptop Steering Wheel Desk: Electronics


Be sure to look at all the item pics on the above...

The user reviews are even better.

Thank god he's not serious. Imagine what the bill would look like to outlaw something like that. It would look like some sort of extensive joke. If that was legal, then being able to talk on a cellphone with your hands can't be any more dangerous than risking an iPad crashing into your face. It would make the purpose of an airbag obsolete, hehe.

Actually, from my understanding that unit is currently under development by Apple, they're going to call it the Air-Pad.

It comes with a soft Mylar screen that has a flexible LED/LCD and can accept the Safety Air Bag deployment from behind. Apple is really buzzing that this got leaked as they have quietly began talks with some major Auto-Manufacturers for 2012 intergration. One caveat was the requirement for Voice command for the Air-Pad and Auto-Pilot for the vehicle as the system is design to be used on long distance travel The Air-Pad automatically disables at speeds under 25 mph and will not play movies while mounted. Some outside thoughts have mentioned using an LCD projector on the back of the Air-Pad to send accompanying GPS street/road view images to the windshield to aid navigation and instrumentation. Included might be head gestures to control reading e-mail and web browsing... but that's somewhat speculative at this time.

This certainly will REINVENT driving as we know it. OR by natural selection, control the fan boii population!

Maybe there is an air bag app, they (apple) claim there is an app for just about anything,

Seriously, I hope this is a joke and thank God here in Ontario there is a law against using cell phones, GPS, ipods, etc while driving, you can only use hands free stuff,

yes they do but not in the steering wheel with an airbag , their computers are to the side, at least where I live anyways.
