Touch interfaces in cars should be banned. They're 95% unusable without taking your eyes off the road.

Whomever first came up with the idea should end up mentioned in historical footnotes alongside Thomas Midgely Jr.: Inventor of leaded gasoline and freon/CFCs; a man who probably caused more destruction than any other living organism in history.

Midgley made lots of lives better, at least for a while. I don't think the same can be said of touchscreens in cars...

Any law like this should be careful not to ban touchpads.
