It's a blatant disregard for others as far as I'm concerned and I applaud Mazda for taking a stance on it.
Couldn't disagree with you more.
With freedom comes risk. If you want to live in a nanny world, that's your business I suppose. I don't need or want Mazda telling me what I can't do with my own car (which is my own as it is free and clear).
Being able to touch some icons on a screen is not texting while driving. Hell, I don't even have a commander knob and Mazda locks out certain options on the touchscreen. It literally has no reason to be locked out. Completely arbitrary. If anything it is far safer than texting while driving. For most of my icons, I've muscle memorized where they are that I don't even have to look. For others its a much quicker glance than say looking down at a phone which is much more "eyes off road" than a quick glance at the infotainment screen which is close to the same eye level as the road...hell even more so on your 2017!
