I remember reading that when radios started appearing in cars (Motorola BTW started by Bill Lear of LearJet fame. He also developed the 8 track car stereo player. Also named his daughter Crystal Shanda.) many states tried to outlaw car radios because they were a distraction.
What goes around, comes around.
Oh,yeah I remember 8 tracks. A few of mine got “carsick “ and would unravel inside the tape deck. When I was a kid a friend of my Dad who was some record company exec had a car phone in his Mercedes 280 roadster. It was a Motorola with a handset attached to it and took up half the seat. It cost $1/minute to yak on those things back in the 60’s,so only VIP’S had them.
