If you feel that driving is too safe, than you should 'danger things up' with a steering wheel laptop. While the design is still in concept stage, I'm sure you can copy the idea by duct taping your laptop to the wheel.
"This notebook made for people that travel with their cars to work. The unique design allows you to mount your laptop securely on your steering wheel so you can comfortably use your laptop while sitting in the driver's seat of your vehicle. The Cario Notebook is easily positioned by the existing steering wheel adjustment."
Implications - Consumers are constantly looking for ways to streamline all kinds of different aspects of daily life into their technology, so it's no surprise to see a product like this which seeks to bring that transition one step closer to reality.
