Touch screens are a STUPID idea for cars for a very simple reason: one cannot use a touch screen without looking at the screen instead of the road. Voice input with audio confirmation would work fine for most of the things car manufacturers are using touch screens for, without forcing users to take their eyes off the road. That being said, my Toyota has adaptive cruise control and lane holding assist, so I can watch porn while driving the freeway anyway...

I use Android Auto 100% of the time when I am driving. A popup would make me miss my exit, which would piss me off. I'm not happy about the constant driver alerts from Waze that Google inserted either. Or the fact that every time I ask google a question, it pops up a survey of how I liked my Google experience... while I'm driving.

I tried a trial of Sirius when I bought my RAV4. All those spots along the Umpqua River where I can't get radio or cellular data? Turns out I can't get Sirius in those spots either; the cliff face blocks the path to the Sirius satellite. Funny story: Some idiot signed his BWM up for Sirius using my email address, so I keep cancelling his Sirus account... and he keeps restarting it.

Someone should make a web application which allows users to submit reports of inappropriate behaviour from companies so we can avoid buying products from those companies which have demonstrated anti-customer behaviour. I mean, they're telling us they don't value us - the best thing we can do is listen and spread the word. Surely that's what they want.
