WILTON, Conn. — The "dream car" for today's Net savvy consumer would be theft-proof, have sensors to detect hazardous road conditions and a remote zapper to start and warm it up, according to a Greenfield Online survey of 1,000 Internet users released last week.
While 62 percent think that governments should ban cell phone use while driving, only a handful envision that their next car would have built-in voice command telephone service. The online survey also found that surfing was what respondents like to do most for relaxation, but few are ready for Internet capabilities in their cars. Here is how various high-tech options ranked:
| Feature | % |
| Built-in advanced theft deterrent systems | 30% |
| Built-in road conditions sensors to detect hazards | 22% |
| Remote ability to start and warm up the car | 17% |
| Global positioning navigation system | 12% |
| Satellite radio with hundreds of stations | 9% |
| Built-in voice control telephone system | 9% |
| Internet e-mail inbound and outbound | 6% |
| Full Internet connectivity | 6% |
| Internet music downloading | 5% |
