Because nothing does more to increase driver focus than getting in a heated argument with a machine. My rental car last month, towards the end of a long drive in a snowstorm, told me it was "time to take a break" and displayed a coffee cup on the dash where the speedometer used to be. I swear if it wasn't a rental car I would have put my fist through that screen.
I was driving a new company vehicle recently and while I'm cruising at highway speeds, it would pop up a warning that my washer fluid was low. Not sure when the optimal time to tell me is, but I can almost guarantee telling me at 60 mph is below optimal.
That sounds illegal. I thought even Tesla got dinged for moving the defrost option. Obscuring the speed seems bonkers.
Car had more than one speedometer. There was a mechanical speedo and tach on either side of the screen, with a digital speed display in the middle.
