CCATP #741 – Tom Merritt on Touchscreens vs. Buttons in Cars

<p>Tom Merritt of the Daily Tech News Show joins me on Chit Chat Across the Pond to talk about a recent study published by Sweden’s biggest car magazine, ViBilägare. The study timed drivers in how long it took them to perform a set of proscribed functions in a variety of cars with touchscreens and one vehicle without any touchscreen at all.</p> <p>While Tom and I agree that the study is flawed in a lot of ways, we differ on how it is flawed, which makes for a lively discussion. We talk about the merits and demerits of touchscreens and even throw CarPlay under the bus while praising its virtues.</p> <p>If you want to find all of Tom's work, you can go to [tommerritt.com/...](https://tommerritt.com/).
