Those are not mutually exclusive. The ux is incredibly dangerous especially here in sunny and wet south east asia where China is exporting a lot of cars now. Many accidents are making the news where the driver didn’t see something cause they’re fucking with the stupid controls instead of driving.
We don’t allow smart phone use while driving but somehow giant tablet in the middle of the car is ok.

I cannot believe there haven’t been lawsuits to stop this BS yet
