And then they double as GPS, but they're installed so low that you can't see the GPS out of the corner of your eye, and therefore need to look away from the road. Great design!

I see "but it does gps!" As an excuse in favor of the oversized screens. But a heads up display, reading aloud turn by turn directions, or even a set of lights to indicate where you should go would do the same thing better

And guess what? I navigate with my Android and don't even have to SEE the screen. "In a quarter mile turn left on Bright Screen Road."
