I got a new Subaru and the touchscreen is making me insane. I will avoid electronics in cars as much as possible going forward.

It literally has a warning that displays every time you start the car: "Watching this screen and making selections while driving can lead to serious accidents". Then you have to press agree before you can use the A/C or stereo.

Like oh attempting to turn the air conditioner on in your car can lead to serious accidents? Maybe you should rethink your dashboard instead of pasting a warning absolving you of its negative effects?

Unless you return it and explain why, then you've supported them with your wallet, the most powerful method of support.

Usually that legalese goes away after ~30 seconds or when you put it in drive, you rarely have to actually hit “OK”. But I haven’t been in a recent Subaru!

It's a liability transfer. Thank corp legal.

How about a recall and replacement for that defective dashboard with one that doesn't cause distractions and accidents since it has buttons that can be felt even by someone wearing winter gloves?
