Cheaper to build and can be adjusted and patched as you go

One of the biggest problems with touch is still that you have to take your eyes off the road (for quite some time). I have no issue if we are talking about some internal media center stuff and you still have some sort of haptic button on a steering wheel. But as soon as we are talking about AC, fans and everything you sometimes need to drive, I'm off.

Teslas are so bad for this, that whole "all the controls are on a big ipad" setup should be illegal.
