Are touchscreens in cars dangerous?

Dial based navigation for the screen is best. You can use it by muscle memory on cars that have it. While we’re at it let’s also get rid of auto start stop, which is frustrating, saves little, and harms long term durability.

I can’t believe you can’t permanently disable auto start stop among all the myriad settings on my Honda. Fortunately there’s a very convenient button I’ve learned to reflexively hit after I start the car.

The law prevents you from selling vehicles with a permanent disable feature. Some cars have after market workarounds but on most of them you have to turn it off manually each time you start the car. The worst are cars that put that switch deep in some menu.

So I gathered. After I got the car I assumed there had be be a setting buried deep in the menus somewhere but instead saw some forum discussions and the aftermarket disablers.

Fortunately my Honda makes it very easy to just reflexively turn off when I start my car.
