At what point should we stop adding entertainment devices to our vehicles? A typical vehicle now features a navigation system, DVD player, MP3 player, Bluetooth, and/or XM radio, and some may even be equipped with Wi-Fi. As you know there's already too many distractions on the road, which explains the latest texting/talking while driving bans and fatalities currently making the headlines.

If our GPS navigation systems ever look anything like South Korea's, future drivers are in big trouble. The next time you see the driver next to you singing in their car, look for a microphone in their hand.

Korea's Thinkware NAVI G1 all-in-one navigation system looks beautiful as it's equipped with a large 7-inch display used to watch television, view photos, video, play games, and control music, but the biggest surprise is the digital karaoke machine (digioke) which will help families pass the time on their next road trip.

Engadget spotted the system over at Aving, which seems to be available in a 2GB and 4GB version. Thankfully, they're only available in Korea, so don't expect to see American Idol contenders practicing their routine on the road just yet.
