Artificial passenger is the newest technology that has come about...

Thoughts?

I think that's the whole idea. To keep you alert. I'll be sure to pass on that option when I buy a new car!

Clearly this product was developed without talking to the marketing department. A nice splash of water in the face isn't going to make my driving any safer. And promoting "it's like a backseat driver" as a feature? If they pull that off I'm changing my whole response to bug reports.

I made it me self. Just 5 minutes of cut, paste, and type using a graphics editor.

I'd prefer to have the seat electified.
