Moreover, with rich dashboards that match tablets in car entertainment has accelerated tremendously in recent years. Though, the car companies are looking to keep passengers and idle drivers engaged with the system.

Of course, car companies has no intentions to crash the cars while driving therefore, they are relying on the arrival of the autonomous driving to free up drivers to watch and play on their entertainment systems.
