This is what I've read too. Germans historically view the automobile as a tool for driving that should warrant your entire focus. This is unlike lazy oblivious overweight Americans.

Personally my mindset aligns with the Germans. At most I put a water bottle in my cupholders. I've never eaten in my cars, ever.
