No Top Marks for Cars With basics on a Touchscreen

[gbb]

Touch screen ought to be disabled whilst driving.

The Mazda screen is disabled as soon as the car is moving. (well mine does anyway)
Just as it should be...for any car

Touchscreens, to be rationalised, with no 'safety related feature' access being allowed via them

Whats interesting is our 7 year old car fulfils all these criteria but yet still has a touchscreen that works very well as 2nd display for when I need to do work from the car.

No touchscreen here. There's a multifunction screen but doesn't have or need a touch interface.

No indicators either!

I don't have a touchscreen (in my car)

Also, a pox on lane departure and collision avoidance systems that don't work reliably and can't be disabled. I know people who have rejected new cars because of these. A collision warning just because you're going over a narrow bridge*, knowing the car might slam on the brakes at any time, is terrifying. And lane departure doesn't work on much-repaired UK roads with faded markings.
