A buddy of mine had this come up on his new Escape's center screen on the way home from vacation this year. He had to shut off the car and restart it to get the screen back. No joke.
Your friend must have had that wonderful my Ford Stync system. From everything I have read about Fords that is the worst system out there.
You beat me to it -- although my commute is more dangerous, as there are stairs involved. I could also run over a dog, if I'm not paying attention. CD
Nobody is actually capable of multi-tasking - at least according to experts. Real experts - not the people who have convinced themselves they can do it. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/creativity-without-borders/201405/the-myth-multitasking 12 Surprising Reasons Multitasking Doesn't Work - Health.com
I think the "experts" are a little confused. Working multitasking is the ability to process and understand different inputs at the same time or close to it. Doing something while listening to something. Texting and driving are to processes that require the same sense and use of your hands. It's not multitasking and is dangerous. I have as have my boys multitask successfully for many years. But being ADD probably gives us a leg up. Our minds are always working multiple things at the same time whether we want it to or not.
When Will This Insanity Stop.... That's right. All this tech is insanity when simple and old school works just fine. This is a real product and went viral with people posting reviews on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E1D1GY6/ (5 stars) Great cutting board I'm a college student and I never had time to prepare a proper meal! Now with this steering wheel desk, I use it as a cutting board! I can dice, mince, slice, or chop my meat in the convenience of my car. By the time I get home, all my meat, veggies, etc are ready to be cooked! (2 stars) Not as convenient as I expected I just picked uuyp my laptop hoder from the post offfice and I'm ddriving home now. It's OK Iguess, but the bumpy road majkes it hard to type. And theree's a lot of pedeestrians and traffi c that keep distracti9ng me fromm my computer. (1 star) What a stupid design When the airbag went off, the laptop screen lid slammed shut on my fingers. (2 stars) This thing really really sucks! It has cost me a fortune. I drive a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and the shift gear is on the steering. So on the highway, when I do a sharp left, the f$%#$%% thing shift me truck in reverse. Not only I slam my chest broken on the it but I'm gone through two transmissions! Don't recommend for Pickup trucks! (5 stars) Clean your guns while driving This thing is great for field-stripping & cleaning your Glock-FoeTee between road-rage incidents. Be careful not to turn with loose ammo laying on it - all the bullets will roll off.
