BMW have fitted this to a 3 series, if we see it fitted to the next s-class merc it'll be coming soon to a mondeo near you.

Just a gimmick really. Still have to pay attention to the road and be prepared to jump in. Just a "Cool" factor, and probs a very very expensive option at that with cameras, radar, blah blah blah............. :undecided:

The bad thing about this, is that someone will be able to track you, know where you are, and see if you speed.
