Didn't the rest of the world do this like 10 years ago?

Yeah... and, in my experience, these laws have zero impact on people's driving habits. Every day I see MANY people on my commute with their phones in their hands, and usually it's easy to tell who is using their phone because their driving is erratic. However, no one ever gets pulled over for it.

In the meantime, let's keep making vehicles with touchscreen only controls. Brilliant.

We're still on this bullshit? The problem with phones is the cognitive distraction, but yes, let's pretend that it's safe if you just keep two hands on the wheel.
