I participated in a driving simulation a while back. It was a real vehicle that had full motion, but was on hydraulic struts instead of wheels.
They were testing how phone usage affected people.
It’s texting that’s the problem. I murdered a few jaywalkers only while interacting with creating words. Not when on speaker phone and not when just looking at the phone.
Touchscreens aren’t really that bad when designed well.
It’s not just texting - I looked at the console to see what song was playing and then rear-ended the car in front of me that had stopped suddenly.

Anything that distracts from actually paying attention to driving is a problem.

Even if having to interact with a big touch screen while driving were truly safe, I don’t want to have to deal with that when I’m driving.

That’s not new, looking at the radio has been a thing since the 80’s.
Yes yes, the three numbers on the dial.
The 80’s were when digital radios came out. Quite annoying. I’m sure there was the same complaints then as now.
I call bullshit because you can’t adjust the ac or radio without taking your eyes off the road
