I love how that saying this is a software glitch is somehow supposed to make it okay? Motherfuckers, you took time and money to develop the thing. In doesn't matter that it wasn't supposed to be deployed right now. It matters that it was developed at all.

This is my tinfoil opinion, but I wouldn't be surprised that it was done on purpose to gauge the public reaction and setting the pace of rollout.

The timing is too perfect knowing damn well that Republicans won't legislate that.

I design UI for systems infinately less likely to kill you when distracted than a vehicle interface.

The only possible glitch is that this is appearing before it was supposed to.

Being triggered specifically when the vehicle is stopped shows a lot of thought on the cover your ass for saftey lawsuits front, that was no mistake.

You can share my tinfoil if you'd like. I got enough for both of us.
