  • Personally I prefer a mixture of both. Touch screen for anything you don’t need to operate while driving and physical for everything else.

    Android Auto navigation, car system/audio settings, clock and system management, etc should all be a touch screen so you aren’t navigating through turning knobs and pressing up and down buttons to go through various menus like your programming a microwave.

    Knobs and dials and buttons for anything to do with audio volume, skip/reverse tracks, etc. and air conditioning.














  • It shows little popup logos on the screen where the places are located, like a McDonald’s logo a few street over as you are driving by in your commute. I had it show me a Toyota logo for a Toyota dealership yesterday. Like, why do I need to know there’s a Toyota dealership there unless I’m specifically searching for it? Toyota probably paid them to show up a certain amount of times.


  • It’s pretty stupid to introduce ads on the pause screen. Usually I would pause something because I am either:

    A) Being interrupted and need to focus on something else like a phone call or a family member talking to me, and wouldn’t be paying attention to the screen anyways.

    B) Need to leave to go somewhere else like the fridge for a snack and wouldn’t be paying attention to the screen anyways.

    Or

    C) Just want to take a break and want to do something else which involves opening another window or program and wouldn’t be paying attention to the window with YouTube open.

    In every scenario where I pause YouTube and add playing would not provide any value to the entity paying YouTube to play the ad.

    And in every scenario, if an ad began playing when I pause youtube it would cause me to mute my sound and/or turn off my monitor and just cause me to get super annoyed at YouTube or at whatever product is being advertised and how to never buy it ever.
