GM releasing trucks with in-dash computers

New GM trucks will have mobile offices — basically computers build into the dashboard. In addition to Office apps, the computers will run a version of Opera. It's basically the default all-purpose browser nowadays, so why not?

J. Peterson says
“use the in-dash browser to access sales information, contact databases…”

…Or watch YouTube while they plow into your rear bumper at a stoplight.
Christopher Ross says
OK, I’m a pretty simple guy and I grew up on a farm, driving farm trucks and I can tell you that never, in all the time I sat in the cab of a truck did I think to myself “man, I’d buy another truck … if only it had a web browser in it”.
