    Yeah but I don’t use my phone while driving and neither should you, and that fucking monstrosity is no different than a phone. You CAN’T use it without taking your eyes off the road which is super fucking dangerous hence the reason for pulling over to use the POS as you should. Dont say autopilot makes it safe because that system doesn’t work well as it can only use cameras and their machine learning model isn’t that good and should NOT be relied on to make it safe to use a giant cellphone for a center console.

      That’s pedantic. I wasn’t suggesting you use your phone while driving, I was describing the way you touch a screen. It is literally the exact same amount of distraction as pushing a button.

      If you can’t handle touching a “fake button” without losing attention from the road, you probably shouldn’t be open operating heavy equipment at all.
