Physical buttons are finally coming back to cars. 🤌
It’s not just an aesthetic choice, though—it’s a safety-conscious one. Research shows that reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high.

“A BBC spokesperson said: ‘It is essential that Apple fixes this problem urgently’”
Thing is, Apple can’t. No company can ‘fix’ errors going out in AI summaries, because they’re fancy autocomplete. AI doesn’t understand information and context.

It's me. I'm the engineer.

As I said -- only a matter of time before news orgs lashed out at Apple's lackluster (and evidently dangerously wrong) AI summaries of their work. This is shambolic and the BBC has every right to be furious about it.
