Carmakers Must Bring Back Physical Buttons, Says Europe: An anonymous reader quotes a report from Hagerty: Euro NCAP, the automotive safety industry body for Europe, is introducing new guidance for 2026 which means that five important tasks in every car will have to be performed by actual buttons instead of by accessing a screen. Indicators, hazard warning lights, windscreen wipers, horn, and SOS features will have to be controlled by proper switches in order for cars to be granted Euro NCAP's coveted five star safety rating. "The overuse of touchscreens is an industry-wide problem, with almost every vehicle-maker moving key controls onto central touchscreens, obliging drivers to take their eyes off the road and raising the risk of distraction crashes," explained Matthew Avery, director of strategic development at Euro NCAP. "New Euro NCAP tests due in 2026 will encourage manufacturers to use separate, physical controls for basic functions in an intuitive manner, limiting eyes-off-road time and therefore promoting safer driving." Although it won't be mandatory to comply with Euro NCAP's new rules, car makers that don't will lose valuable points in their safety ratings. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

I just came across an informative article from AutoZone that provides a step-by-step guide on how to safely jack up a car. It's crucial to follow proper procedures to avoid accidents and ensure the safety of both individuals and vehicles. Here are the key takeaways: 1. Preparation is key: Make sure the car is on solid, level ground, and engage the parking brake. Using wheel chocks will prevent the car from rolling. 2. Choose the right jack: For emergency situations such as changing a flat tire, a scissor jack is suitable. However, for heavier DIY jobs, opt for a hydraulic jack. 3. Jack placement: Locate the pinch welds or integrated jacking points on the underside of the car. Consult the owner's manual for specific lift points. 4. Lift the car correctly: Insert the jack handle properly and rotate it to lift the car. Ensure that the car is raised high enough to remove the wheel and place jack stands. 5. Use jack stands: Place jack stands near the jack and raise them until they fit under the car. Lower the car onto the jack stands and lock them in place. 6. Safety checks are essential: Test the stability of the jack stands by gently pushing on the car from different angles. Never work under a car supported only by a jack. 7. Lower the car with caution: Raise the car slightly to remove the jack stands and then lower it to the ground by reversing the lifting process. This article highlights the importance of safety and the proper use of equipment when jacking up a vehicle. With the correct approach, accidents can be avoided, and both individuals and vehicles can stay protected. As experts in the automotive industry, we understand the significance of safety practices. I encourage you all to read the article and share your thoughts on the topic. Let's engage in a conversation about the best practices for jacking up cars and discuss any additional safety tips or insights you may have.
