My 2019 Mazda 3 had this down. A screen just under where you'd look while driving, non touch.
A center console knob surrounded by four buttons that did everything on that screen. It took a few weeks to get used to, but once I did i never needed to look away from driving to do anything. Once you had the spinning knob in hand, the buttons lay around it and you never needed to feel for controls.

I've had Sirius for a while and I love it, but they have some weird issues. For example, during free week I get the free traffic notifications that tied into my car's navigation ( Mazda 3). When I tried to actually purchase that system, I was told it wasn't offered on that car, even though it had just been working the week before when it was free.

From the ones I've seen , aren't they just barely usable and generally don't contribute much at all to your electricity needs? I looked at some a few years ago, they may have become better. But at the time it felt like "pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for something that saves you $5 a month.":

I know for me, if I read something I disagree with, I may snark at it-- willingly, as I know it's driving my algorithm. But I generally don't get angry and view much of it as useless fluff I can effectively ignore.
One of my past best friends, however, was a hard left Bay area resident, and she eventually got pissed off and "officially" dropped me as a friend because I wasn't angry enough about some thing that occurred which I can't even remember. It was literally " I can't be friends with someone who isn't angry enough about [insert thing here]". I probably can't remember because she was angry about all sorts of things.

Decisions like this are why so many law enforcement agencies simply buy access to location databases from companies like Gravy Analytics, Fog Data Services and Venntel. This data is much better than a geofence of a single tower for a narrow time window. You can follow the people to their homes, figure out groups of people who traveled together, correlate their travels with a specific car, etc.

Somehow writing a check to trample the constitution is a completely different thing than directly trampling the constitution.
