A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's very nice. Until it blocks your navigation screen in the car, then it sucks :(
I don't understand why this still happens. How have car manufacturers still not realized that they need to polarize their displays in the opposite direction? Tons of people wear polarized lenses, especially for driving! It's not even a niche use-case, like half the options my optometrist offers are polarized, they're everywhere. And the fix is so incredibly simple - just rotate some of your manufacturing equipment 90 degrees. Boom, done, problem solved.
This has been quietly driving me crazy for years.
I would simply prefer my car didn't have any screens at all. If a new car just powered off the screen while not using the backup camera it'd have my attention so fast.
The monkey paw curls...
Your next car has you looking into a solid piece of metal, lacking a windscreen. 😅
I'm moderately surprised that Tesla hasn't already tried replacing the windshield with a big screen and cameras tbh
It's a tank?
Tanks have windshields. They’re just tiny and made of very thick glass.
In this picture the windshield is right below the main gun:
