Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout
eltrain123@lemmy.world 1 year agoThey have night settings just like the infotainment centers in ICE vegicles. They also have dimming functions if you have such sensitive eyes you can’t stand even a small amount of light coming from the console. This is not a real problem. This is you bitching about stuff you don’t want.

What if I want to change the interior temp? Am I supposed to pull over stare at this giant monstrosity if a screen? Right now I can simply turn a dial.
This has to be the worst defense of a sub standard idea that is a computer screen for a center console

No. You hit the button on the screen that changes the temp or you roll the right roller/button on the steering wheel.
The big lcd screen isn’t a mystery… it works like your phone… only a lot bigger so you don’t have to stare at it to know where to press. You can just glance and then look back at the road… like if it were an analog button.

Yeah but I don’t use my phone while driving and neither should you, and that fucking monstrosity is no different than a phone. You CAN’T use it without taking your eyes off the road which is super fucking dangerous hence the reason for pulling over to use the POS as you should. Dont say autopilot makes it safe because that system doesn’t work well as it can only use cameras and their machine learning model isn’t that good and should NOT be relied on to make it safe to use a giant cellphone for a center console.

That’s pedantic. I wasn’t suggesting you use your phone while driving, I was describing the way you touch a screen. It is literally the exact same amount of distraction as pushing a button.
If you can’t handle touching a “fake button” without losing attention from the road, you probably shouldn’t be open operating heavy equipment at all.
