Any system should be easy to use and work for parking, fueling, and charging.

No lies, this asshat in front of me was on a VIDEO CALL WHILE DRIVING. You can see the other caller on the screen. WTF?
Are we gonna make it? Am *I* gonna make it?
This morning on the #bike school run I stopped at lights and watched an N-plate #driver carrying on a 3 way video call while vaping.
At the next lights I asked her to stop as she was clearly #distracteddriving and its illegal.
She was totally confused and pointed to the phone holder.

It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.
I hope that the person who was in front of me and who rolled to a complete stop at two successive GREEN lights this morning drops and shatters their phone immediately upon arrival at wherever they are going.
Not out of any sense of vengeance, mind you. I just think we’ll all be safer.

@arstechnica As long as those computers continue to interact with me via switches, knobs and buttons, that's OK. What's not OK is swapping in a giant touch screen to replace all those controls for which we develop muscle memory and can soon use without distraction from, erm, driving.
Road violence
When you think about the goal to deter people from using their cell phones to call, or text, whilst driving... and here are the automakers putting in touchscreens to control all the things in these new vehicles...
How did no one think it would be distracting?!?
Anyone who owns or drives a modern car knows one thing about trying to operate it while also trying to watch the road: touchscreens are dangerous. And—finally—a vehicle safety agency agrees.

LifewireCould Touchscreens in Cars Be on Their Way Out Already? Let's Hope SoThe Euro NCAP wont' give cars with touchscreen controls a 5/5 safety rating starting in January 2025, instead the agency says buttons, knobs, and stalks are safer when driving.
New safety guidelines could see automakers ditch touchscreens for physical buttons and switches, etc. https://www.motortrend.com/news/new-car-interior-touchscreen-euro-ncap-safety-testing/ #distracteddriving

The Drive · Aston Martin's 'Piss-Off Factor' Is Here to Save Us From Touchscreen HellAston's designers have a phrase for the displeasure of digging through touchscreen menus to turn on a heated seat, and we can all relate.
It's amazing how many people pick their nose in their car.
Do they pick their nose regularly throughout the day, totally oblivious to who might see them, or are they exhibitionists waiting until they're protected in a glass walled cabin surrounded by a steady, varying flow of onlookers? Could this even be a legitimate subcategory of exhibitionism that I'm not aware of? Like, securhibitionism?
