It's a shame we live in such a litigious society where people can't take responsibility for their own stupidity. Spill hot coffee on oneself - it's clearly the responsibility of the person who gave you the coffee, right? That hot coffee just snuck up on you. Crash a vehicle because you glanced over at a screen and you're not a good driver to begin with? Clearly the automaker's fault.
I think a reasonable compromise is locking out all features by default. If one wants to assume the risk of piling into a tree because they can't multi-task, the owner should have the ability to override the lockout (even if it's through the Lexus personal settings program, requiring a re-program from the dealer) and assume all responsibility thereafter, thus releasing the manufacturer from further liability.

What Lexus is doing is almost like the Lexus owners are second graders, if a few Lexus owners dont know how to play with their toys safely, then Lexus should just take away the toys from everyone to punish them.

Thats a good point, Lexus can have the owner sign a waiver form releasing Lexus of all liability.

Looking at how you and others acted about some floormats, can we BLAME Lexus for having a silly NAV lockout?

Dont forget the headlights, Toyota and Lexus all have their headlights aim at the lower limits.

Plus with a lot of the new cars, backup cameras can be ordered without nav and don't have to be tied to nav systems and nav screens.
