   And anyone driving a car they are familiar with doesn't have to look to see   
   what they are doing with the heater/ac.  One quick flick in my car adjusts the   
   heat, the a/c, or the defroster and I don't have to look to find the controls   
   or what position to    
   put them in.   
      
   Radio?  Most people never change the station - the only control they "fiddle"   
   with there is on/off.   
      
   CD?  Fiddling would involve selecting a new disc and that shouldn't be done   
   while driving.
