Isn’t the conversation the main distraction with phones, exacerbated by the fact the other person can’t see the hazard you are approaching.

I was under the impression that tesla lets you adjust most of the settings using voice command, is that incorrect?

Are you suggesting from a safety point of view?

Perhaps? I know the latest studies suggest hands free phone calls aren't much better than handed phone calls [1], I don't know if there would be a difference between a conversation and barking out instructions in this context.

Id still prefer buttons.

I personally believe texting while driving to be the main issue.

The number of times I’ve seen people cars swivel around on the highway texting can’t be counted.

If I’m driving with someone and I see cars behave erratic I usually bet the driver is texting. Mostly they are and it’s just too obvious - it’s for some reason a specific pattern to it. I can’t be alone in noticing this?

They do course adjustment less ofent and more jerky. It looks lile they are practicing driving for the first times.

I dont know if from safety point of view using voice command is far less unsafe than using buttons. Prolonged conversation on phone (handheld or free) is quite different.
