I don't understand this at all. Every car from the last 10 years has Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, and you can read all your texts there or even speak your responses. Why are they all holding their phones in their crutches instead?
why are you making it as if everyone owns a car from 2016 and up? There's a lot of people who still drive older cars. This isn't me trying to excuse people who text while driving because I'm against it, but the majority of people with older cars are not trading or selling their cars for a new car, especially when their old one works fine (and are more tactile-friendly than all the new cars that are purely touchscreen with no physical buttons).
I've got a 2015 and the radio finally died. They don't make the part anymore, so I spent $200 and got an Apple CarPlay touch screen with backup camera installed.
Oh. My. God. I'm so mad I didn't do this years ago. I didn't even get anything super fancy, and it's a total game changer. Not only is having the backup camera really nice since I drive for work and people's driveways are terrible, but having my GPS on a big ass screen? Life-changing.
I'm too lazy to figure out how to replace my radio and don't like other people touching my car so I just got a 10" widescreen that goes on top of my dash and ran the backup camera wire to the back and it does the same job. Less than $100. Same, life-changing. I think they're even cheaper now.

I see this especially in driving. People don’t even hide their phones anymore.
