I would love my car to be able to tell the driver in front of me "pardon me sir, but you appear to have stopped in the middle of a green right turn arrow for no apparent reason. Please consider moving forward to avoid impeding traffic." Oh, wait, I do have that: "Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!"

The same people who hack road signs would love to have your car shouting at you that zombies are attacking.

I still like Gallagher’s idea, have a dart gun with a flag that says “Stupid” on it. Anytime some driver does something dumb, shoot the dart on their car so it sticks, and then when a car has about 5 or 6 “Stupid” flags on their car, the cop pulls them over.

You want to fine me for talking to my passenger in my truck, but you also want to make me buy a car which TALKS to ME?
KMA....I won’t buy such a vehicle. Time to renew my subscription to Hemmings Motor News for an older car.
