I’m not really interested in individual opinions on this (simply because it’s pretty obvious in advance what the two different schools of thought are going to be), but I am interested in any official information or opinions that readers might be aware of.
Teslas are obviously very dependent on a software driven interface and touch screen controls, but in the UK we are getting increasingly strict restrictions on use of phones or other distraction devices while driving.
Is there any official view on where these things collide? Is use of the Tesla UI while driving strictly speaking breaking the law? Is there any likelihood that the laws might further tighten to the point where it is, and what would that mean for current owners?
Or is there a specific exemption in the rules for in built infotainment systems? It would be reasonable to assume that if the government certifies a vehicle for sale that it is legal to use it, after all.
