Each person is responsible for their own actions, and everyone compromises them, to varying degrees, to their own standards, even when the law states they need to do otherwise. Or have you never exceeded the speed limit before, or so much as rolled a stop sign? Or maybe that one glass of wine wasn’t quite out of your system yet? Please stop with the transparently dishonest holier-than-thous.
I agree with what is said here, except when someone with that extra glass of wine, driving exceeding the speed limit, rolled a stop sign while watching a video on the center screen and T-bone a family with young children. It's the varying degrees compounding and compromising someone's action that's not agreeable.

@TomServo2112 Weak.
I never made any of those claims that you are setting up as straw man arguments. You are trying to put words in my mouth then refute those things I never said.

I was specifically quoting and responding to @jpv, who made the claim that movies on the center screen were not distracting and that he should be allowed to play them if he wanted because he can refrain from watching them. You know very well that they are distracting - your silly examples prove it - and it is disingenous to suggest I meant that nothing else in the world is distracting and that all sorts of other things should be banned inside the car.

My post had nothing to do with banning or regulating behavior.

Each person is responsible for their own actions, and everyone compromises them, to varying degrees, to their own standards, even when the law states they need to do otherwise.
And each *company* is responsible for their own actions too. There's a difference between you doing something stupid on your own, and even going out of your way to do something stupid (like mounting a tablet on your dash so you can watch movies) vs. Rivian *enabling* you to do something stupid while driving. If Rivian enables you, then they are absolutely liable in part for the resulting problems.

You want ridiculous examples, like you provided? Well how about Rivian designs and sells a gear-tunnel kegerator with a tap handle on the dash for use while driving, just in case the passenger needs a cold one? Do you think that would be a good idea too? Leave it up to the driver to make the responsible decision? Or how about a magnifying, lighted cosmetics mirror on an extending arm to make it easier for the driver to put on makeup/shave/etc. while driving? The driver isn't forced to use this feature, right? So it's all about personal responsibility?

People can and will do all sorts of stupid things in cars. We don't need car manufactures to make this *more* likely and *easier* to do. Disallowing movies to play on the dash when the car is in motion isn't an inconvenience to anyone - your spoiled passenger can always use a tablet if he/she wants to watch a movie. But it would be irresponsible for Rivian to enable that behavior on the built-in center screen where the driver can't avoid *seeing* it and being visually distracted by it, no matter how responsible the driver is.

Would be nice to see Waze on the screen while driving atleast for my 150$ /yr!
I would also like Apple Maps, Gaia, PlugShare, ABRP, and… eh CarPlay would just be easier and grant all of those apps Including Waze AND works while driving.
