I know we all joke about this, but like, it's literally probably safer than using a fucking unintuitive touchscreen to control your climate settings or wipers or headlights
you could have a dash mounted phone and use voice to text, and that is pretty much guaranteed less of a distraction to a driver than trying to navigate menus to turn off their high beams
Well Tesla tried to fix that by making it a yoke instead of a wheel so your hands would never leave their designated positions. And then they went and fucked that up by making it a fixed steering ratio like a regular wheel, which defeated the entire purpose of a yoke. Then they just ditched the yoke entirely instead of developing a variable ratio steering mechanism for it, and that was it for the yoke. Oh also they went back on their bold and courageous and revolutionary and innovative move of removing the steering stalk in favor of shitty capacitive buttons on the wheel, because everyone hated that too. Very brave.
FFS, what's wrong with you dumbasses? Watching YouTube on your phone or on the instrument cluster is fucking insane and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Seriously, I don't care if you're joking or not, grow the fuck up.
When I was a young moron, often making long drives at night on unlit roads, I would watch videos while driving by placing my phone on the dashboard and watching the reflection on the windshield

Like Gramma always said, "it's not the drunk drivers that are the problem. It's those fucking drunk crashers giving us a bad name!"

I will not buy a car that requires the touchscreen to operate essential functions like wipers.
Putting indicator buttons on the steering wheel is just as bad if the steering wheel can turn more than 45°.

Tuchscreen cars normally support android auto or apple carplay and have a siri/alexe/whazever button on the wheel

And while you're at it, put handles on pudding cups so I can steer and hold my snack. I need my right hand for the spoon and scrolling Youtube,
L0rdMathias@sh.itjust.works · 14 pts · 317d
And remove ads from YouTube while you're at it. Don't they know taking both my hands off the wheel to pick up my phone and hit skip is dangerous???!??
ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 317d
If your car has a digital speedometer, etc... it's possible you can replace that entire distracting panel with your YouTubes.

I've worked with two guys in the past year that admit watching YouTube or movies while driving long trips. Both of them younger.
BootLoop@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 317d
90% of drivers admit to taking their eyes off the road to look down at their speedometer. Together we can stop this.
Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 316d
I have a max speed enforcer built in my car, i always drive pedal down like in mario kart don’t need speedometer.. Maybe I am 10% 🧐

I was trying to read this while driving, but there wasn't enough contrast between the white text and the light gray cat 😿

You'll get smaller text so your eyes stay on the road and you'll like it.

Though still not normalizing text alternatives for drivers who need accessibility. 🤔

I was slowly scrolling down while reading, expecting it to say "while drunk"
