Default Ionroad for Android

Has anyone with Android had a play with the augmented reality driving assistant?

Very clever, not sure how usable it is, but its a nice tech demo for drivers.

It tells you to brake when you're too close to the person in front... it's rubbish.

Virtual reality is quite cool. But on android i'd die virtually every day when me phone broke. Again.

How long before idiots are using it to post their closest tailgating scores.

But this is really an app for the American market where driving is always 3rd on the priority list of things to do whilst driving

What is this crap? If you need this... You shouldn't be operating any sort of vehicle. Not even a bicycle.

Don't get me started on that. I hate it. Another thing I hate about drivers in the US is failure to understand that the left lane is for PASSING! Not sitting there doing the same speed as the other 4 freakin' lanes!!
