Yes - these adds seem to be selling smartphones on wheels. Rented a few of these vehicles lately for work travel. Highly disracting, IMHO.

I rode in a Buick Riviera a bunch of years ago. It had all the dash controls- radio, air/heat etc on a touch screen low on the dash. I watched the driver deal with it for a minute then told him to either stop the car and let me out or stay the hell away from the dash. That thing was deadly. One could not change the station on the radio by turning a knob one doesn’t have to look at didn’t have to look at. One had to touch a particular spot on on the screen and hold it while watching the numbers go by. At 60 mph that is not good. Similar with AC. What was GM thinking?
