Play video games while you drive, what could possibly go wrong?
What’s the one big thing you’re missing in your car? Supersize cup holders for those McDonald’s heart-attack shakes? Self-cleaning seats that wipe all the chocolate crumbs from your arse crevice? Some sort of inbuilt toilet system to relieve your bowels with the convenience and dignity of a decedent aristocrat?

Will there be a custom controller? Who’s making the GPU for this thing? Can you transfer save files or store them in the cloud?
