I’d be surprised if people couldn’t put in a simple and cheap aftermarket deck and a couple speakers, which would only be around a couple hundo. If these things are easy to work on so you can install it yourself, even better.
Id prefer to at least have the slot for one as an option. I grew up with professional aftermarket sound systems in cars (thanks for the tinnitus, dad) so it just wouldn’t feel right to me.
That and android auto. There’s nice options for head units with screens last i looked.
it’s really not though. it’s way easier to just not put on headphones than it is to put on headphones and prove you had them in pass through sound mode
You make it seem like someone would put on their headphones just for the ride. They would have them on already before hand. And they would keep them on afterwards.

I have a stereo in mine. Has BT. I still usually just roll with ear buds. Lol.

or a bluetooth speaker that connects with a smartypants phone
I had a truck without a working stereo so I just used some Bluetooth speakers
Standard DIN stereo slot, heat, and AC, and id buy it in a heartbeat.
You don’t even need a stereo. Bluetooth amp and a phone/tablet holder.

Seems built In speakers will be optional
I don’t care at all I almost prefer that. I have a Bluetooth headset I wear 90 percent of the time anyways.
You should not be wearing anything in or on your ears while driving.
Motorcycle riders wear ear protection for wind noise.
completely different scenario. real apples to cats comparison
Riders can hear better than people in cars even with earpro though.
The rise of headphones that allow you to hear the outside world while wearing them is gunna make that law obsolete
Make sure you say that to the cop while he writes your ticket

I think they meant open ear style headphones / earbuds, not closed ear ones with pass-through function.
Personally, despite having a pair of those, and they are great, I still prefer using the car’s speakers while driving, but that’s me.
then i’m confused because those aren’t new. those are the oldest designs on the market

Especially in a vehicle that doesn’t have a radio
why would we make driving rules surrounding that exactly one vehicle doesn’t have speakers and some headphones have passthrough?
