alt Hacker NewsI got a new Subaru and the touchscreen is making me insane. I will avoid electronics in cars as much as possible going forward.
It literally has a warning that displays every time you start the car: "Watching this screen and making selections while driving can lead to serious accidents". Then you have to press agree before you can use the A/C or stereo.
Like oh attempting to turn the air conditioner on in your car can lead to serious accidents? Maybe you should rethink your dashboard instead of pasting a warning absolving you of its negative effects?

Usually that legalese goes away after ~30 seconds or when you put it in drive, you rarely have to actually hit “OK”. But I haven’t been in a recent Subaru!
Unless you return it and explain why, then you've supported them with your wallet, the most powerful method of support.
