    Using a phone while driving is illegal in most places while adjusting the air conditioning via a tablet with nested menus is not. In theory most of the data should line up with the new touch screens rather than phones which have been available for a long time.

        I could be wrong but I feel like there was a solid decade of people driving with cellphones all the damn time before cars started commonly having tablets for normal functions.

        Not who you were talking to, sorry for butting in

      Never in my life have a gone more than a day on the road without seeing obvious cell phone usage while driving. It’s been illegal for like 20 years here. It’s super easy to spot from a motorcycle as well. Meanwhile, there’s way more rideshare drivers constantly adding fares and way more people actively scrolling through brainrot while driving. Touch screens have been aggravating drivers since at least 2006.
