I'm surprised consumer reports and the like isn't giving all cars bad reviews for that.


Late last year a study funded by AAA was published. [1] [2]

__For example, the Tesla Model S 75 enabled internet usage on the 17-inch LCD touch screen that allowed the driver to perform a large number of tasks that were not driving-related (e.g., checking and composing Facebook posts)

It's insane how much of a problem distracted driving is with mobile phones right now. I can't see "improving" cars by making them "smart" helping.
