I'm going to get crucified for this, but - it's not that big of a deal anymore on modern cars. I drive ~75% on autopilot so few seconds of attention is going to kill me. The other 25% traffic is slow enough or stalled that I can wait for a moment where I can afford to do my task.
Of course my partner hates autopilot because she looses focus and misses all the highway exits :facepalm:
- bobbylarrybobby 3y agoI assume you meant isn't going to kill you. Anyway, you might be surprised to know that there exist people outside your car who your inattention may very well kill.

- voltaireodactyl 3y agoNone of the things you mentioned are related to car design. It seems logical that auto design choices that decrease driver attention to the act of driving would probably make all the things you listed even more likely to be deadly for others. It therefore seems logical to advocate for car design that does not decrease driver attention to the act of driving.
