    All of these modes are also deeply nested within the touchscreen menu you have to use for everything while driving, because that’s totally safe. At least there’s a highly reliable self-driving mode that totally doesn’t suffer from the fact that Tesla removed radar for cost reasons (they even disabled it on cars that already had it).

    Mazda once measured that every single touchscreen input while driving caused a steering impulse and that drivers looked away from the road for a significant amount of time to navigate through menus. That’s why their infotainment systems relied on a dial and buttons instead - until 2023, when they gave up and conveniently forgot about this study, because lots of idiots people were complaining about not having a tablet computer to play around with while driving.

      No no, you’re supposed to pause the vehicle first before operating the touchscreen, but that’s a monthly subscription…
