Hi all
I just read this rather concerning article. In Germany a model 3 driver got a fine and lost temporary his license because he touched the screen for adjusting the wiper speed during heavy rain. Unfortunately he caused an accident by doing that.
This falls under the law that you cannot touch your screen or electronic device while driving.
So even for safety precautions it is not allowed. This almost basically means they should forbid the model 3 since you cannot use it without.
Personally I should think this is impossible to be valid because the car is approved selling and registring in Germany in the conditions the car is made. Since you cannot use the car without the screen this could not be right.
Quite concerning development...
