VERY recently, like within the past few years, I had an experience where I was driving and someone's hand dragging across the dash accidentally pressed the button that switches miles per hour to kilometers per hour just in case any of us State side visits' Canada, and I have intention to do exactly that. But the switch was in our 2013 Prius, and I was literally DRIVING when it flipped over to Kilometers, and you can't imagine the sense of panic as I had no clue where that button actually was, the Road was 50 Miles per hour, and it's like if I had the formula I could do the math but, not in my head here. Cars speeding past me as I tried to find the switch and everything, Eventually we did, but just the nightmare of being in the middle of operation and it accidentally being flipped taught me we should just use the damn metric system, Further, that Button, that Toyota had to manufacture into the damn 2013 Prius shouldn't need to exist.
