Damn, am I just getting old or did anyone else have to google what "IOW" stood for?
Any control that requires you to take your eye off the road for a split second just to confirm that you even activated it, is dangerous. Then multiply that by each control they've moved to touch screen. So dumb.
funnily enough, we already had an abbreviation for "IOW" (In Other Words), "I.E." (Id Est - That Is)
Worth noting that, by convention, "i.e." is usually in lower case, and only capitalized when the words themselves would be, i.e. at the start of a sentence.
Edit: typo
I THOUGHT it looked weird capitalized, but the other guy capitalized IOW so I figured "When In Rome"
You mean w.i.r.
i think ie looks weird no matter how you present it
I had to Google it too! "In other words"
The only semi nice thing my car did for the touchscreen is let you put shortcuts at the top, which is just the stupid screen for the heated seats. Everything else has a button in a easy to reach spot. I use Android Auto and I only have to bring up the actual car menu every few months, and not while driving. It isn't a perfect infotainment system, but it has certainly been the least annoying.
