European crash tester says carmakers must bring back physical controls - Lemmy.World

Touch screens should not be used for any controls needed to operate a car. You can’t use them without taking your eyes off the road.

Technically the only thing you’re allowed to fuddle with, while driving, is what you can operate from the steering wheel. You’re not supposed to fiddle with radio, AC etc. from the centre console while driving even if it’s physical buttons.

I know people don’t drive like this, but you’re only allowed to take your hands off the steering wheel for changing gears if driving a manual, otherwise it’s two hands on theere at all times…technically

Hands on 10 and 2 while operating the 2 to death trap!
Phew im good then, my car weighs less than a ton so i can just drive with no hands right?
The math checks out.
