@geomannie@mastodon.scot In my current rental car, a Seat Leon, I need to navigate through the touch screen menu to increase ventilation or adjust the temperature. There's no way this is safe if you're driving alone and have to do this on your own while driving.
We should have shut this down immediately when car manufacturers started that bullshit.

@alpacamale@social.cologne @geomannie@mastodon.scot my car does have buttons for climate control... But I rarely touch them. Don't people just leave it in auto at 21C all the time?

@alpacamale@social.cologne @geomannie@mastodon.scot I test drove a car that required normal things be done through the touch screen and it became an instant disqualifier. It was even worse when you had to use a dial near the gear shifter to control the screen
