@StarkRG@myside-yourside.net @benroyce@mastodon.social @geomannie@mastodon.scot there are regulations about what a driver can and can't be shown whilst driving, they start from state/regional level all the way up to the UN and by and large companies (even GAFAM) do obey them, or else the vehicle will be outright prohibited from the roads in many countries and that results in reputation damage and potential lawsuits (this is why many apps don't work with Android Auto / Apple Carplay, the tech companies do seem to obey (even begrudgingly) whatever traffic authorities insist on

@StarkRG@myside-yourside.net @benroyce@mastodon.social @geomannie@mastodon.scot I have a 2.5 year-old Mazda CX-30 with no touchscreen, using instead a jog/shuffle dial and assorted switches to operate the 8.8-inch infotainment screen. The built-in navigation system projects basic route info onto the lower windscreen via a HUD, in addition to pictorial indicators of intersection signs, speed of travel. It also displays local speed limits as read by the external camera at the top of the windscreen.
