recently a court in germany has ruled on the display and touch controls on cars because of distraction, a major cause of fatal accidents
now, the problems of distractions are smartphone and touch screen that you have in your car while driving
on tesla model 3 / Y you can do things only via the touchscreen
and you can control also important things, such as the wipers
let's go back to italy in a minute, this problem was also encountered by a mini reform of the highway code
the changes also include the use of smartphones, tablets, computers etc .. the charge is from 400 to 1700 €, driving license seizure from 7 days to 2 months and -5 points
and if you do this another time in 2 years you will get a 2600€ charge, 1/3 months of seizure and -10 points
what are tablets and similar devices???
and in Italy the agents can do what they want so just changing the radio station while you are at the police stop could be using a similar device
what happened in germany?
a tesla model 3 driver in 2019 was driving on the highway while raining and opened the wiper settings to set the wipe speed, but he went into a big wheat field
the court blamed the driver for alleging he was using an electronic device.
do you think that this is correct?
Welcome in this new video!
tesla has given us a lot of new features, new applications, new AI, and fized sensors, such as the wiper one
if you don't know it, tesla dosen't have a water sensor but it uses the cameras to tell if it's raining or not and if yes, how much.
in 2019 This system WAS VERY BAD! i also told this in some videos, so i think it's ok that he was fixing the speed
the driver complained and the court ruled that anyone who watches a screen for more than a certain moment while driving is committing an offense
it does not matter if you are using the screen to change radio, set the navigator or for safety reasons
the problem is serious, becouse on a Tesla Model 3 to do anything you will need to touch a screen, the court could also choose to switch off the screen while the car is in drive
for tesla this would mean a huge change, redesign all the interior of model 3 removing the minimal aspect that we tech people love so much
today tesla maded huge steps forward compared to the 2019, now you can do more things to make an action
for example, now to activate the wipers you can press the button on the left lever, you can use the voice command or the touchscreen
but in 2019 the voice command weren't working
the driver tryed it, he was correct :-)
the problem that the court said is that to change the speed of the wipers you should be able to do it with one tap
what do you think? i think the court is right also if i love my model 3, they could have placed some switch somewhere
for example, my dad would take one week to know half of the position of the settings, it's like the smartphone, you learn a few apps and you will stop, only a few nerds like to know all the settings
i think that the display should be able to rotate to yourself
tesla could have implemented a few more levers or a few more buttons on the steering wheel
