Multi-Function Display

"In the first three years after visual multi-function displays were introduced to the general public, the occurrence of automobile and skycar accidents among the "technical elite" went up sixfold, and fatalities tripled. Causes of accident, as cited by officers on the scene, have included "accessing map software which unexpectedly displayed in fullscreen mode," "reviewing notes in MFD for directions, forgot to watch road" "incoming email startled driver" and "reading PubNet discussion during boring commute." Drivers are cautioned to use only the most minimal of MFD displays while on the road or in the air, and are warned that operating a vehicle with more than 70% of your visual field obscured can result in the loss of your license."
