We already see this in car interfaces. Clearly designed by people that don't drive, or at the very least have not tested it themselves while driving.

I got a rental the other day and while driving could not find the clock! I had to hit TWO BUTTONS on the infotainment touchscreen panel to get back to "home" and see the gd time. I was driving on curvy roads in Yosemite too. Truly abhorrent.

I don't think the driver is supposed to use the touch screen while the vehicle is in motion
