Summary:
- Touchscreens in cars are becoming more common, but they can be dangerous for drivers. Touchscreens require drivers to take their eyes off the road and their hands off the wheel, which increases the risk of accidents.
- Researchers have found that using a touchscreen in a car takes about twice as long as using physical buttons or knobs. This means drivers are distracted from the road for longer periods of time.
- Experts suggest that car manufacturers should focus on making physical controls easier to use while driving, rather than relying on touchscreens that can be distracting.
