    TV screens in new vehicles

    How big are these big screens in new cars going to get , some look to take up a bout a 1/4 of the middle dashboard and why can you use one and not a Mobile Phone ???? . Once you could control all facets of the vehicle with taking eyes of the road , how can you do this with these ever getting bigger screens . D'oh . . Yeah once you could get fuel at the service station if the electricity or the internet failed !! .

    And once people died of polio. Times are a changing as they say. Go with it. You might find you enjoy yourself. At the very least, you're much more likely to survive a crash in a modern car whilst trying to work out how to use the large tv screen.

    There is a regulatory push to move back to physical controls as the touch screens tend to be difficult to operate without taking your eyes off the road

    Agree , eyes should be on the road not texting on a phone or using a touch screen in todays traffic .

    For sure. The law might think differently though as might the pedestrians you plow into the ground whilst looking at it. Minor inconveniences though really.

    I've got a small screen I can hardly see , but voice control for most services I want.

    I have to stop to put a usb stick in though.

    if its just entertainment then my ipod goes for about 2 days.

    I dont need navigation , I have Mk11 eyeball and brain.

    my next new car will have one but I will probably leave it turned off.
