        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.
