There are a multitude of issues:
- poor visibility in modern cars due to rollover protection
- touch screens and touch controls in cars
- general proliferation of controls in cars
- smart phones & smart phone addictions
- higher vehicle belt lines are better for vehicle --> vehicle impacts but worse for vehicle --> pedestrian impacts
- poor pedestrian infrastructure, sidewalks, crosswalks, etc.
- octo888 1y agoHow have touchscreens had such a free pass compared to mobile phones?! Just kidding I know the answer is lobbying
- strickjb9 1y agoI hung onto a Blackberry way longer than I should have simply because I wanted physical keys. I'm trying to hang onto cars with physical controls as well. It seems like automakers are finally get the hint that people want physical controls again.
- pmontra 1y agoBut why only in the USA? Cars and phones are the same in all the countries listed in the OP and it's not SUVs vs sedans. So are we left with your last point, different infrastructure?
