EuroNCAP has pretty rigorous tests and their safety demands make cars so much safer. Their latest big demand is removal of touch buttons for physical buttons. You know who even started this all touch crazy? Fucking Tesla with their unregulated bullshit in Murica. I'm actually surprised it took so long for EU to catch up and ban this dumb shit.

Good for them, that shit is ridiculous. Eyes on the road!

I don't like touch buttons, how do I watch the road and change the fan?

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
