I thought drivers were supposed to keep their eyes on the road ahead.
Look at the speedometer. It’s not moving
Is that the radio to the right of the speedometer and is vertical? If so, it looks like the preset buttons are using symbols and not numbers or letters.
That is interesting.
The symbols are italicised letters that spell T-u-c-k-e-r. I miss mechanical radio buttons, and all mechanical controls that you quickly learned to enjoy using without needing to look at them. Knobs that clicked and turned. Levers that slid from here to there. Touching the control told you where it was set. Moving the control let you feel where the setting was moving to.
