This new requirement is expected to be mandatory for only newly manufactured vehicles starting July 1, 2026.

Same. I remember years ago, reading how these touchscreen interfaces are inferior and inherently less safe, because they require you to take your eyes off the road, because they cannot be navigated on haptics alone.

"CCP" actually cares about its people.

The CCP only consistently sides with the people against corporations because its politicians want to stay in power.
Freedom is when your government is 3 corporations in a trenchcoat.

They make sure to not let their corpos get dangerously big. The definition of a managed economy. Look at Jack Ma

And if they still step out of line, the CPC has other ways to help get fresh air into billionaires.

CCP:
"Don't worry capitalist class, we didn't harm the billionaire,
he is living on grandpa's farm now playing with other billionaires like him"
