Mercedes Thinks In-Car Facebook Is A Good Idea

Steer clear of new Benz drivers.

None

As if folks didn’t have enough distractions while driving—between texting, music, insobriety and just other bad drivers—Mercedes has announced plans to integrate Facebook into all Benz models with an on-board computer by 2013.

The social media tie-in would allow for drivers to publish pre-written posts on Facebook, so there aren’t any attempts to type while driving. It also plans to utilize a vehicle’s GPS, so if you punch in a destination, you can post status updates with current ETAs based on road conditions.
