Please stop multitasking while driving.

The tech seems neat and all but please stop multitasking while driving, encouraging others to multitask while driving, and building products specifically designed to encourage multitasking while driving.

If you want to work while you're in transit: take public transit.

People do not multitask well. The median driver can barely keep a car on the road in perfect weather on a good day. Please stop helping distract them!

Luckily, most states lave laws about this, and drivers will get fined. Sadly, manufacturers rarely get fined. The people who made the original "hands on wheel" defeat device for Teslas got away with it, IIRC

Multitasking is mostly for those who have muscle memory in driving home to work and back. I have a hard time remembering going to the grocery store on the way because of muscle memory

zoning out while driving doesn't mean you should pay even less attention to the road

Muscle memory is good, until you get unexpected unexpected.

I remember an experiment about driving there the subjects had to go to a simulator and drive the same simulated route for some time, until they know it and it got boring. So, after a few days, suddenly a deer/pothole/kid/car/whatever appeared.
