Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout
n3m37h@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months agoYeah 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.

Except there is no physical feedback, you NEED to look at that screen, I can manage 90% of my dash by feel and 90% of the controls I use are on my steering wheel.
Also everyone on the road isn’t you, I was nearly in an accident as a passenger because my driver was looking at the screen because there was no physical buttons.

The physical feedback is your finger touching the screen. If it’s a skill you can’t learn, you should stick to old cars with outdated technology. Everyone isn’t capable of keeping up with technology. It’s fine.
Sounds like whoever drives you around is as incompetent as you are at managing their driving with new technology. You should find people with more coordination to drive you around.

Close.your eyes and operate your fucking center console. Can you? No because you are touching a flat piece of glass ya tard. Feedback is some tactile response not tyou feeling the glass. Does the screen vibrate when you touch it?
You (and the designers) are fucking WRONG. Physical buttons you can distinguish from one another. You putting down people to make yourself feel superior is your way of justifying buying a total piece of shit.
And once again, cars are built for the masses, if it is unsafefors them then it is a terrible design and should go back to the known good way.
Go and put square tires since its such a good idea, infinite. Stopping power!
