Modern cars are computers on wheels that send home nonstop telemetry about you. In this post I remove my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid's modem and GPS to prevent that :)

    Why don’t you stick your phone in your pocket or a cupholder and then make that phone call.

          in which places is a dash-mounted phone illegal?

            New York and California, to name a few.

            But that’s beside the point. YOU are allowed to use YOUR phone microphone if YOU want. And in that same vein, OTHERS are allowed to use THEIR built-in hands-free systems. You don’t have to like it. But acting like a gatekeeper and soapboxing over it is just weird.

                That’s it? Just “no u”?

                Pathetic.
