All can be done from the steering wheel. Phone, Nav, Audio/SAT       > radio, instrument display options.              I have plenty of controls on my steering wheel, but they're not       all there.              There's no defroster control, for example.       Nor heater controls.              And, while I can change radio channels and volume, I can't       turn "on" or "off" the radio.              I can't turn the AC on, nor the cruise control either,       but I can change the level of both of them.              But still, there's no coffee or ham sandwich, and, certainly,       it doesn't shut up the crying baby in the back seat yet.              Point is, driving is inherently easy and driving is filled to       the brim with distractions.              These distractions are *easy* to manage, as proven by the fact       that anyone with half a brain, two hands, and two feet who is       over something like 16 or 17 in most states, "can" drive.              Most of us go our entire lives without a single accident, and       without hitting a single animal or mailbox or guardrail (I       know I have).              I often ask people who hit animals how they could possibly       do that, and they *always* say the animal "jumped out in       front of me".              Well, I have had zillions of animals crossing the road and       jumping out in front of me; how come "I" haven't hit any       of them?              Am I a "good" driver?       Answer = no.              Driving is so easy, you can easily drive 15K miles a year for       50 years and never hit a thing. That's how easy driving is.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
