Hilarous.
- karaterobot 4y agoI dunno, it seems like the tide is turning a bit. Mazda and BMW both say they're going to cool it with touch screens, and I assume others have too. This might be related to the chip shortage, but then again I've seen a bunch of articles about how much people hate this technology in cars. The original prediction doesn't include a timeline, I note. Maybe this is wishful thinking on my part?
- pmontra 4y agoFor the driver a touchscreens is dangerous. For passengers or for configuration is OK. I got the radio controls on my steering wheel. I would be dead or I won't be using the radio if they were on a touchscreen. Closing a phone call is on the touchscreen and I'd like to be able to do it from the steering wheel. The less the eyes leave the road the better.
