please keep it polite.

I expect cars in the future will have driver monitoring checking if the driver is sleepy, distracted, etc and will sound a warning.

I think android/ios should do a better job at making distraction free car-modes that only shows navigation and reads out text messages, etc.

Don't come the raw prawn I'm being plenty polite. At least by Aussie standards. What they said is nonsense, not them. I'm sure they're a reasonable person afk. We all get a bit of brain damage once we start typing haha.

I expect cars of the future to not exist given they're poisoning the world, killing us, and destroying our urban environments but I admit to being an eternal optimist. I like driving, well riding anyway (before I became too crippled), but it's not something we're very good at and cars are ludicrious machines for what they're used for. Like driving a tank to pin up a poster haha.
