optional car game controller output   (+7)  [vote for, against]

If a car is sufficiently fly by wire, then allow for car enthusiast to pay a little extra when buying a new car to have a 'game controller output' installed.

What this means is, after driving home, they can perhaps drive into their garage, and hook their car to their *XBOX 360 or *computer, to play an entire game within the confines of their car.

It would also have force feedback, because of the 'power steering feature that most car have'

*(projector system, and computer/console not included)

If it have dynamic suspension... you can add force feedback to the entire car.

Also useful for long motorway journeys.

had a Nintendo... the controllers lasted a few months before they degenerated.

Fine way to mess with those conditioned reflexes of the driver's which stand between him -- all right, who cares about him: some bystander -- and death or maiming.

now all you have to do is mount a 60" plasma screen tv in your garage, or use one of those nifty head's up displays.
