I have never felt safe using any touch screen while driving.

We almost never have to touch the screen with driving our Model 3. All controls you need are physical or very easy to interact with on the screen.

That's okay, you won't be the one driving soon enough

Ehhhh. Self driving cars have been just around the corner for a long time now. Not saying it won’t happen, but I wouldn’t buy a Tesla today on the assumption that it’ll happen within the lifetime of that car.

A long time? I feel like they went from "eventually" to "around the corner" pretty recently. Even though there weren't any particular leaps in self-driving technology happening then.

What you’re missing, though, is that from Tesla’s perspective you shouldn’t be driving while trying to use it. Or much at all.

I prefer hardware to software and I’d hate to control my Jeeps with a touchscreen but my Jeeps aren’t driving themselves.
