I know we all joke about this, but like, it’s literally probably safer than using a fucking unintuitive touchscreen to control your climate settings or wipers or headlights
you could have a dash mounted phone and use voice to text, and that is pretty much guaranteed less of a distraction to a driver than trying to navigate menus to turn off their high beams
Well Tesla tried to fix that by making it a yoke instead of a wheel so your hands would never leave their designated positions. And then they went and fucked that up by making it a fixed steering ratio like a regular wheel, which defeated the entire purpose of a yoke. Then they just ditched the yoke entirely instead of developing a variable ratio steering mechanism for it, and that was it for the yoke. Oh also they went back on their bold and courageous and revolutionary and innovative move of removing the steering stalk in favor of shitty capacitive buttons on the wheel, because everyone hated that too. Very brave.
Texting while driving isn’t that dangerous, I alw
Like Gramma always said, “it’s not the drunk drivers that are the problem. It’s those fucking drunk crashers giving us a bad name!”

Tuchscreen cars normally support android auto or apple carplay and have a siri/alexe/whazever button on the wheel
Texting, phoning no problem, eyes on the road
I will not buy a car that requires the touchscreen to operate essential functions like wipers.
Putting indicator buttons on the steering wheel is just as bad if the steering wheel can turn more than 45°.

Fedisniper strikes again. When will this terror end?
