I assume car manufacturers would try to stop this by saying people would just load up video games or netflix on their dashboards while they drive. Even though you could probably do that now already, if you really wanted to.

Hell, I could just bolt a laptop to the dash if I really wanted that

Why jump to laptop when tablets are right there? Just chuck one of these chungus fuckers onto some velcro mounts...https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/tablets/galaxy-view/samsung-galaxy-view-18-4-32gb-wi-fi-black-sm-t670nzkaxar/

Yeah, but who wants their car to look like a Tesla? ;)
