I wrote this piece back in May. Good to see it being shared widely again. Screens were fitted to make cars look techy when, in fact, their main benefit was to auto makers because they were far far cheaper than physical switchgear.
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

Canada‘s Conservative Party (their House Leader Scheer on CBC) is claiming that anything less than the complete removal of tariffs is PM Carney “failing” and “breaking his promise.”
I expect a lot from Carney, but the Conservatives constantly remind me how they’d be worse. Unserious hypocrites.
