If, while driving, the technology improves driver attention then fine and I do not care what other bells and do funnies are available while the car is parked. Go for it!

However, I am disturbed or amused by some of the names.

As one who writes numerous programs for micro-controllers I would not pick “Bug Labs” for my company’s name. That is just so wrong.

As a conservative I would not in any way associate with a company named “Weather Underground”.

Was this from the Onion?

Maybe the name is unfortunate, but Weather Underground has been around as a weather service and web site for weather aficionados for a long, long time.

Yes they have an unfortunate name, made even more infamous by the zerO in the white house, but it is just a weather website and a pretty good one, its great in the summer to track t-storms etc. cause they have live radar maps with lots of info on them.

While the name may seem a bit weird, it makes more sense if you consider some of the things they make. Bug Labs has some really cool stuff for folks involved in robotics.

I really like this entire concept. I can think of many different types of apps that you could use to do different trivial things, but also some to make you a better driver. Imagine being able to record acceleration curves, deceleration curves, mileage info, and things of that nature. You could record a profile, and if your car notices a deviation from a specified profile, it could indicate future mechanical difficulties way ahead of time.
