I also do product safety risk assessments , yet in other industry . But from safety perspective , I cannot come up with any reasoning how touch screens are acceptable . For sure they distract eye from the road when you try to find the right button . In a good car , your hands find the right function without the need to look for them .
And not to speak of Tesla tachometer on the touchscreen. To my understanding , this has to be banned . It would’ve been acceptable if the things would drive themselves , yet as this is not in sight , that kind of distraction from the road seems unacceptable . I would never buy a car designed like this just out of safety reasons
