Re:‘A huge blunder’: GM’s decision to ditch CarPlay, Android... by jerrysievert on Friday April 14, 2023 @10:10PM (#35577027)
I'm guessing you didn't drive an early ford with the windows experience. my favorite was driving a rental car where a popup popped up over my speedometer while driving. there was no "touch", so I couldn't press the "OK" button, and there were no buttons on the steering wheel I could ever find to press it either (there were in later model ford cars).

I ended up having to power the car off to get the dialog to go away, but in the meantime, drove in the right lane because I had no idea if I was speeding or not, and couldn't imagine trying to explain that to a cop if I were pulled over.

Honestly, it seems incredibly easy to explain to a cop.

Show them the dashboard, and ask if they can issue a fixit ticket to the rental car company, or if they know how to report it to the automotive recall people.
