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.

I agree that we should find ways to limit instead of instigate multitasking while driving.

Building tech is usually clearer than finding a clear use case for it. As we find ways to mature the tech to be aligned with the ultimate vision we have, we will test various problems the immature tech can solve.

With that being said, if you have any ideas where this could really help people (for instance people with motor disabilities), please share them. We would like to serve people and build with humility.

Agree with everyone else. This will directly lead to, or at least enable, people getting killed. I don’t think that’s hyperbole.

That being said, my bike ride to work is a quiet 30 mins. This would be insanely useful for that. I always get to work with a stack of messages piled up, both ways.
