Places to plug computers, MP3 players, navigation, touch screen, internet capable, TV and more.
Seams to me that car manufactures are crossing a line here, putting things in vehicles that is taking away from the concentration of the driver.
When it is illegal to use your phone and text, (or even go without a seat belt) this is all stuff that worries me when I'm on the road.
More than 1/2 the people I meet on a 2 lane road don't even have their eyes on the road!
And I'm not kidding! On the way back from a doctors appointment last week, I was almost rear ended.
A car slowed and came to a stop in front of me to wait for someone in front of them to turn left.
The idiot behind me saw me stopped at the last second and ran threw the ditch, narrowly missing me.
As I watched the idiot in my rear view mirror get closer and closer not slowing down, I could see he was messing with something in the middle of his dash.
It pisses me off to no end that there are laws for us drivers not to use the tech that is thrown in front us...
But no laws to prevent manufactures of putting tech in a car the driver can't access.
It's one thing for passengers to able to use it, but not the driver!
How hard would it be to put tech in a car that senses when the driver isn't focused on the windshield or mirrors, the car shuts off?
So give it a 1 second delay because you blink, glance at the time, etc.
But no more, because how far can you travel at 70mph in 1 second? 2 seconds? 3 seconds?
Nope, put the tech behind the drivers seat and nothing but driving controls in the front. Problem solved.
And crap on saying they need it when not driving because these new super phones does everything!
If it's there, driving or not, it will get used and concentration will be taken off your driving.
And I know there's people reading this that have done it!
And I know people reading this that is in control of 80,000 lbs or more does it!
