Any road soda fan will tell you that it needs a bathroom. A world with robots driving toilet-containing cars... that's the world that this drunkard wants to live in.

Considering their work on the G1, I personally wouldn't save my pennies for any car designed by this lot. As much as I like Android, I really wish T-Mo and Google had done a better job of picking and developing the hardware of the first phone to get the OS. The screen area's just too small for comfortable touchscreen functions, particularly after Cupcake added the virtual keyboard. And the regular hardware keyboard really is a poorly spaced thing.

I think this is a good idea, yet, not a good idea. Having had a DUI charge in the past, it would have honestly been better for me to get into one of those cars and have avoided the DUI in the first place. Problem with that is, people are gonna drink no matter what, and will do what they want when they are done. So, in that respect, it seems to give people more of a reason to purposely go out and get as drunk as they want. Personally, I think people need to be more aware of the consequences of their actions. I think we just stick with the breathalizers on the steering so people have to either not drink as much when they are out, or do like i do now, stay at home...

This is quiet a good thought. Funny because I was just thinking about this the other day, that there should be a car for drunkards that will auto have speed limits.

All the best.
