    I blame the touchscreen first ideology. Give em some physical buttons that you can feel without taking your eyes off the road.

    That and the sheer power can make accidents happen faster than you can react.

      Those cars with only touchscreen terrify me. I don’t even dare to turn down the AC in the EV car I drove last month when I feel a little cold because it would took THREE precision taps (small UI buttons) at DIFFERENT locations on the screen just to open the Climate Control screen. I have to pull over just to adjust the fan speed, smh.

      The dashboard is also a fucking screen with multiple tabs that I have to “scroll” through with a knob on the wheel.

      I hate the fucking thing the entire time I’m driving it.

      I don’t understand how using a cell phone while driving is a violation in most places, but using a touchscreen as the dashboard is is just fine. Whaaaa …?

      This is a very good point. The more a person is forced to take their eyes off the road, the less safe they become as a driver.
