Robot enforces ‘unwritten rule’ in cars

AutoExec Summary
An engineer built a device to slap away hands that reach for the car radio or air conditioning, enforcing the unwritten rule that the driver controls the music. The gadget sparked debate on social media, with some believing the passenger should be the DJ and others supporting the driver’s musical authority. Car companies are making efforts to accommodate passengers with touchscreens and voice-activated technology, but there are concerns about the potential harm of complex touchscreens in cars. Some models, like the Mini Cooper and Countryman, aim to make cars more customizable and interactive, allowing customers to personalize their driving experience.
