    Audi, FCA, Honda, Nissan, and Volvo once you get past the headline.
    The AAA had conducted a study on the workload the infotainment system put on the driver. Inputing destinations into a nav system was the biggest, taking an average 40 seconds to do. All 12 of the worse models in the list had Nav. Toyota likely avoided inclusion by simply locking the nav input up while the car was in motion.

    Or you just do it on your phone at sync it to the car's nav system with Google Maps...

    I am glad Toyota's infotainment is safe enough that we can all still eat our bowls of cereal on the way to work...
