The difference is so extreme, that I can't honestly believe for 15 years, I was driving around holding a phone to my ear, endangering myself and people around me. It is literally no different than having a conversation with someone in the passenger seat. The system is so seamless, I can get in my car during an active call, and it seamlessly passes the call over to the car within 3 seconds.
I am fully behind the law, and think anyone passing judgment on it, should be forced to use a factory hands free device first. Then come to the realization on how distracted they were before.

Never BMWs and MBs have handsfree too, don't they?
