        I know right, its rediculous. They have all these things with phones and distracted driving but if the screen is bigger and built into the fucking car its actually fine? Have you thought about this for 1 (one) second? And you need it for some key functions like AC (de-fogs the glass when it rains) and heat? And it connects to your phone??? Literally drives me mad, I can’t believe anyone thought that was a good or safe idea.

          I say we just make it illegal to look at or touch any touchscreen in a car, whether it be a phone, tablet, car screen, or anything else.

          If people can’t drive their cars anymore, then good riddance. It’s a safety hazard to the survival of the human species anyway.

      I mean… I understand the controls things but come on, a navigation system is a nice thing and that clearly needs some kind of screen.

    Critical support to Musk killing rich people that buy his cars. If they don’t die because of the autopilot, they die because they were browsing Twitter lmao

        The driver was just finishing writing on Twitter that Teslas are the safest cars around before the autopilot glitched and he suffered a fatal injury to the head.

    Yeah man because what X needs is for people to tweet from their cars more. That will definitely improve the quality of content on the rapidly declining site.

    It’s like they have no idea what the correct starting point is for making mass-market social media successful. They don’t put content quality as their starting point because they have no idea what good quality content is. Their entire shtick has been to change the content that gets visibility by reducing user signals and creating pay to win signals instead, ignoring the fact that user signals are the strongest determinator of quality for most content types, or at the very least the strongest signal for engaging-content.
