(cofounder here) Fair concern - cognitive distraction is real. We see it more like taking a phone call while driving (which people already do). We're purposely keeping interactions simple to make sure features aren't too distracting, and are working on a 'safe mode' that limits you to basic read-only operations while driving. We're actively researching attention management to make it simpler. Safety comes first.

And which we know is highly unsafe: https://unews.utah.edu/up-to-27-seconds-of-inattention-after...

Maybe you can talk about other "dead time" without safety impact - e.g. doing my laundry involves low mental workload but my hands aren't free!

Got it - makes sense. The laundry example is perfect. Moments where your hands are tied or when you want screen-free time
