    Popups while driving? With buttons that have to be pressed for it to go away? What could possible go wrong diverting the attention of a driver this way?!

      The article was updated, this was fake news. There are no popups while driving.

      It was all based on someones Tweet, which either made it up or was confused.

        Ah, the eagerness to publish some “news” based on a Tweet or a Reddit post from a random person with no confirmation at all.
