Not sure what you mean, actually. Navigate? You mean pressing the microphone button and saying "Let's go home", or some other kind of navigation?
Route planning typically happens when stationary — or if you have passengers, they'll obviously use the systems onboard (or on their personal devices) to do navigation.
But if you're driving alone, and no-one else is navigating for you… you'll have to stop.
- Marazan 3y agoAs in navigate the menu system.
- metafunctor 3y agoIf it would come to that, I would just not do it. It would be a peripheral activity anyway, if it's not afforded by my steering wheel or voice controls. So, yes, I would stop to navigate that. Not sure what that would be, in your car? In my car that might be something like planning the charging for the next night, or unexpectedly running out of battery and planning a detour? Very rare.
- HPsquared 3y agoDepending on the road, you might have to wait 10+ minutes before there is anywhere to stop.
- metafunctor 3y agoTo stop for charging?
- HPsquared 3y agoStopping for food, say. You're on the road in unfamiliar territory, it's lunch time, you need to eat. What do?
- metafunctor 3y agoUmm. Stop, eat, charge, visit the restroom… what exactly is the problem you envisioning?
- aacid 3y agochanging climate controls, changing radio station, changing driving modes.
- metafunctor 3y agoI can do those all without taking my eyes off the road. Not sure what you mean?
- aacid 3y agoOn a touchscreen?
- EliRivers 3y agoyou'll have to stop. I understand a lot of people don't and this significantly increases the rate of vehicle collisions and other accidents.
- replygirl 3y ago...unless you have physical inputs, in which case you just have two or three glances at the screen, each quicker than the mirror check i know you're doing every few seconds. the problem isn't that you're doing something with your free hand and sparing some mental capacity--else the manual transmission would be outlawed--it's that if you have a poorly designed car, you have to look away for long enough to lose track of what's happening around you. good on you for realizing when you can't safely operate your car. but me, i just bought a car i can operate safely.
- metafunctor 3y agoIt seems I don't understand what you're talking about. Sorry! I must have been very unclear in my parent post... What makes you believe I think I can't safely operate my car? I don't know what “mirror checks” you mean?
- replygirl 3y agoare you serious? it's when you look away from the road in front of you for a sec to check your mirrors
