    The touch screen is an interface-design antipattern. It causes worse driver distraction than a phone, since experienced users can often interact with simple phone apps without looking. They should be banned, and Tesla (and all carmakers) should be forced to retrofit car controls that are proven safe by third-party testers.

    But instead, we have Trump, so next year’s Teslas will have automomous chainsaw-bots prowling the car’s cabin.

    And so is braking by letting off the gas.

    First thing I disabled when I was lent a model Y by a friend. Second thing was any kind of self-drive.

      I think it’s a huge factor in the increase in traffic deaths. That, inexperienced new / rusty drivers after covid, covid fucking with peoples brains, bigger heavier faster vehicles, increased day to day life stress.
