Safety Product Of The Decade

This comes via one of our GCHQ-sponsored covertly observed-chaps on the twitters:

“This is a great enhancement to safety, as you don’t have to text with something that’s down in your console”

“You’re absolutely not distracted in any way from the road. I mean, you look down, but you look up. It’s like a heads-up display on the vehicle”

“This iPad steering-wheel mount is much safer than other forms of in-car driver distraction”

We’re very impressed, and look forward to this patented technology making it to this side of the Atlantic.

As a wise man once said, I’m convinced it’s a major contribution to road safety.

    “major contribution to road safety”

    (a) You’re being ironic
    (b) You have the patent
    (c) Both a and b

    Click through to read the patent…

    @Giles - Yes there’s a bicycle version, which I shall be bringing to the market some time soon.

    Depending on whether the driver realises it, the fact that an airbag would fire this stupid thing into their idiotic face in a crash *might* actually provide some degree of safety. Like that steering wheel spike people talk about.

    I vote for the steering wheel spike.
