Touch Screens in cars is a really dumb idea. Esp. some that go further and have added script recognition. It’s a serious distraction, thru several levels of menu selections; all I wand to do is turn down the audio volume!
I have a minivan and I love the fact that I have a dedicated pod with all the climate control buttons. A lot of the newer cars move much of the climate functions into a submenu on a touchscreen.
I don’t want to go through 3 levels of menu just to turn on the heated seat. I just want one button to push.
Now our radio/GPS is a touch screen, but it has a knob for volume and several physical buttons to get you to the major functions. You hit “Radio”, it starts playing the radio. And nearly every screen has the top right corner reserved for a “NAV” button.. an electronic button always in the same place, and easily found as your finger touches the corner bezels of the screen.
The Tesla’s are the worst. Hardly any physical controls to be found and everything as part of one huge touchscreen.
