    I think touch controls make sense in cars, but only for navigation and advanced settings, like for how long the headlights should stay on when you leave the car, should the mirrors fold when you lock the car, stuff like that.

    Everything else should have a button.

      Touch is still shit. Especially the much worse version cars have to use to be rated to manage heat and cold for decades.

      It’s not too bad with a little joystick like a Lexus has (no clue who else does). But touch screens for anything in a car are awful.

      Absolutely, I agree with this. Controls one might want to operate while driving, or that have frequent usage should be available as tactile buttons/switches/dials/what have you. If it’s something I’m like to set once or twice a year, or in my lifetime, it might as well be in a software menu somewhere.
