    Good. This should be forced via regulations. Touchscreen controls are provably more dangerous than buttons due to the distraction.

      I’m sure Trump and his new auto industry advisor, Elon Musk, will get right on that. 😔

      Haptic feedback like knob clicks or button presses are much easier to use without taking eyes off the road as often.

        Shhh, don’t call it “haptic feedback” or they might make them flat, unmoving buttons that have a vibration motor behind them.

        Don’t you still have to look at it to find it first? Edit: sorry i thought you were talking about touch screens

          No. All the knobs are in roughly the same area, so you can find and manipulate them by touch without looking.

            I regularly manipulate my 2008 Toyota matrix’s radio and HVAC controls while never taking my eyes off the road. I won’t buy any car that forgoes the physical controls.

          Even if you have to look at it first, once on it you can go by feel where as i find i struggle to do the same on a fully touch control.
