To promote its side assist system, which monitors cars in the blind spot, Volkswagen released a computer application with a similar function, but implemented differently. The program uses a webcam to track movements behind the user's back, and if necessary, automatically replaces the open social network page with an image resembling a presentation, document, or spreadsheet. All that remains is to wait for a version for CIS countries, which will support VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, and, of course, the site Fishki.net.
