Voice Command Internet in the Car

Sometimes I really wish I could surf the net while driving.  I know, it sounds crazy but hear me out.  Voice command Internet in your car would work something like this.  You get in the car and your smart phone connects to it via bluetooth.  You push a button on the steering wheel and say "Go to URL www.wikipedia.com".  A mic in the car picks up the command tells you phone where to go and then starts reading you the page from top to bottom.  A couple of big draws would be reading the news as you commute to work in the morning via their web site or I would love to be able to do wiki searches in the car and learn about one particular subject or person on the way home.  You could program a few key voice commands in like "back", "scroll down" or "pause" to help navigate each page verbally.

Question:
With the don't text and drive initiative going on right now, how dangerous do you think it would be to surf the net if you could do it totally verbally?
