After seeing Morgan’s 10 Useless Car Technologies blog post from a few days ago,  I was pretty sure I had seen a toaster oven that plugs into your car’s lighter (although it very well could have been from a Simpsons episode), so I was a little disappointed that it didn’t make the cut. After doing a little googling, I found out that there’s in fact a toaster oven for your car, as well as a microwave. And Ford introduced an option on their Flex vehicles for a mini fridge between the middle row seats.

Luckily someone compiled a list of amusingly dumb car inventions, which can found here. If you’re thinking about purchasing a toaster or microwave for your car, you might want to take a look at #3 on the list – a steering wheel tray (but not actually, they both sound incredibly dangerous.)

As we all know there are lots of car technologies that help make our drive more comfortable and fun, but not every feature is worth the hype. According to MSN there are 10 technologies that we could live without.

1. Paddle Shifters for Automatic transmission.
2. Interlocked seatbelt and starters: this technology prevented drivers from starting the car unless they were buckled in.
3. Automated steering headlights.
4. Automatic moisture sensing wipes.
5. Map light.
6. Motorized rear view mirror.
7. Motorized seat belts.
8. Proximity warning systems.
9. Electronic parking break.
10. Chevrolet Volt Capacitive Touch Controls.

What do you think of these technologies? Do you find them useless? Let us know your thoughts!
