For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

My biggest gripe is that they are incredibly distracting to use while driving. The safety implications are huge. I hate on-screen buttons. On top of that most are poorly coded and run slowly.

    For that reason alone, I'm surprised they're even as normal as they are. Yes, absolutely, what I want to be doing when I'm driving is removing my eyes from the road so I can poke ineffectually at a flat screen way over to the side. Buttons I can't even feel for. Fantastic development. But I can watch Shrek in my car now.

    I don't understand distracted driving laws, yet somehow those screens become a thing. If I have a tablet near me while driving, I can get pulled over and fined.

    Now put the temperature controls, fan, and all the essentials into a screen with menus to navigate, and with terrible scroll-bars and finger response, and that's supposed to be okay?
