Smartphone or a car? Or both?

According to this article, many auto and electronic companies are working towards a touch screen system inside cars that allows drivers to talk, text, use Facebook and surf the web right through the dashboard. A large percentage of cars in the future will allow for drivers to update their Facebook statuses by voice and even surf the web from the driver's seat. The main purpose that drives these new systems are for drivers to be able to use their smart phone capabilities in a safer setting while driving. 
The car company Ford plans on presenting "App Link," which is "a voice-control system that links apps from the user's smartphone to the car in some models." This technology could be available in 80 percent of Ford vehicles within the next five years. Other companies are too follow this suit. General Motors is incorporating smart phone capabilities into the On-Star feature, and Kia Motors and Microsoft teamed up to launch UVO, "a touchscreen and voice-enabled system that lets drivers make calls, send text messages, change radio stations and scroll their music playlists."
Though the production of these system is to make driving safer for those already using such applications on their phones while driving, distracted driving is still distracted driving whether or not the distraction is in your hand or built into your car.
