Why the sarcasm. It is a concern.

They kinda forgot I was not the author of the article in the Daily Sun-remember distracted driving of a golf cart was a factor in the death of a woman walking in the villages--the driver was looking @ the white line and not ahead

No worries - soon you'll be able to read your touchscreen, newspaper, etc. while traveling in a car - I saw the Autonomous Bus driving around Gainesville last week - worked perfectly, a person was sitting by the controls, ready to take over if there were any problems - there were no problems. It took it's little circuit around the interior of the city and went back to base, several times, with no malfunctions. The future is HERE - it's not science fiction. So, that will get around the distracted driver issue (unless the Autonomous Vehicle gets distracted? Well, anything's possible).

Truth be told it is not a refusal to adapt to new technology but not seeing the need for it since most trips are really short distances. Although I am intrigued by some of the new automated safety features, I Have zero interest in things like touch screens. I have a 20 year old golf cart and 9 & 10 year old cars which look and perform like they were new. I hardly feel deprived. Just the opposite.

My German SUV has two cup holders, they make them differently in Germany?

One is for the cup, the other for the bottle. Had this on my old Mercedes.

Do you not see the irony in what you are saying? Having to read a manual to set a clock does not sound like it is symplifying my life.

Touch Screens
 

Hi in response to the touch screen, the cell phone the drinking and driving?????

It seems in Florida all of that is fine as long as it is a money making anomaly.
Sad very sad.

Even more ironic, is saying that a person who eschews reading instruction manuals (and the resultant aggravation of trial & error)...expects a 'simplification of their lives.' :oops:
