I’m in the same boat. I’ve felt the author’s panic when on the highway in a rental car with a shitty touchscreen UI and I can’t imagine paying money for a car that forces that on me in the name of … apps? I really want driving my car to be about driving my car, guys, not about what kind of bs you can fit on the screen while ignoring the basics.

It is ironic to me that carmakers are so enamored with the smartphone experience that they want it to take over the dashboard, when we are explicitly disallowed from using them while driving for safety reasons.
