Volkswagen Patents Eye-Control for Cars: A Good Idea?

Volkswagen Patents Eye-Control for Cars: A Good Idea?

Volkswagen has created a new idea for cars where you can control things with your eyes, like turning on the radio or adjusting the sunroof.

The idea is that it would be easier than using buttons, which can be confusing.

You would look at what you want to control and then confirm your choice.

However, it might be distracting because you would need to take your eyes off the road.

The technology is only a patent, so it might not ever be used in real cars.

Volkswagen previously stopped using touch-sensitive buttons due to customer complaints.
