Touchless Screen
Pinching, pulling, and gliding with your fingers to use your iPhone? That’s so 2008. The New Year may bring another way to control your Apple devices: waving your fingers above the touch pad or screen. Apple is applying for a patent for technology that embeds arrays of infrared LEDs and light-sensing photodiodes in touch screens. These sensors can tell when a fingertip is hovering above a button so that functions can be activated without actually making contact with the surface. It’s like using a gaming glove without the glove–and it may make you able to use your iPod just by lifting a finger.

What an idiotic idea!!! What if an other person in the car wants to use their cell phone???? What if there is an emergency!?!?!?!
i agree, no one will buy that car. hehe
You can't be serious? If you can't tell a recorded disc from an original one with your bare eyes you need to check your glasses.
Electronic gyros are nothing new, they've been around in r/c helis for several years. And they're not very expensive. Cheapest goes for 20 bucks.
Umm.. the difference between a pressed(original) cd and a copy(burned) is that a pressed cd's data (0 and 1) are represented by physical pits and peaks whereas a burned cd's information is represented by burned (reflective and not reflective) marks on a flat plain. Make a system to differentiate peaks (which are reflective, but does not reflect into the target sensor) from non-reflective burn marks. Then you can tell which is a copy, and which is an original.
Great another way to entice road rage... turn the mobile off while blocked in traffic.
Robotic Clams...? Yes, finally! what we've all been waiting for!
