    Because the GPS isn’t distracting, reading a message is distracting, writing a message is especially distracting.

    Glancing at the screen to see when you’re turning left isn’t.

      They’re not just a GPS though are they, they’re used to control everything in the car. Heating, stereo, reading and replying to messages - everything you can do on a phone and you claimed they can’t. The death if physical buttons should be as big a safety concern as using a phone.
