They are more safe since people can feel the buttons without taking their eyes off of the road. I don't understand why they thought it was a good idea to use touchscreens.

That's true.

With a T9 phone, I used to be able to send a complete text message without ever taking my eyes off the road.

Now that I've got a touchscreen I'm swerving all over the place every time I try to text. It's way less safe.

Don't text while you are driving. What the fuck?

[-] PlantJam@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

Woosh, hopefully?

[-] SmokedBillionaire@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago

Stop fucking texting and driving.

[-] Etienne_Dahu@jlai.lu 18 points 11 months ago

Yes, please just text and drive, fucking is too distracting.

I prefer reading an erotic book. And well...you know where the other hand goes that isn't holding the book.

One word. Tesla.

It became the Apple of automobiles and everyone was rushing to copy them. Then came the fall of Elon and everyone is realizing how full of shit the company is.

Cheap tech that looks expensive, that is why we have touch screens. Also harder to repair for the customer to do. A physcial button is easy to replace and quick.
