Hyundai Is Bringing Back Buttons Because Touchscreens Are ‘Annoying’ (insideevs.com)

Hyundai is slowly backing away from the all-screen approach to interior design.

Hyundai Design North America Vice President Ha Hak-soo said that people "get stressed, annoyed and steamed when they want to control something in a pinch but are unable to do so."

Give me a manageable handful of physical buttons with defaults but that I can customize. The pendulum swung too far. There is a Place for touch screens and buttons in cars. They can live in Harmony. Personally, I never want to see a climate control physical button except maybe for my passengers microclimates. I set a setpoint and set the fan to auto like I do in my house. Let the car adjust to the preferred setpoint. Heated seats / heated steering wheel? Programmed parameters. Stereo controls? Hell yeah, let's get tactile - don't make me look at anything for that. I don't mind the idea of voice controls too, but I've never met one in a car that wasn't frustrating AF. Prefer to leave that out until the tech improves.

Conversely, I want the ac controls on physical buttons because when I'm in driving and am in direct sunlight, or when I've just jumped in the car after doing some heavy work, I want ice cold Antarctic air blowing on my face. The ambient temperature of the general cabin is irrelevant to me. I do not want to be hunting around through menus to find the ac fan control slider.

I'm not opposed to a big Max AC button. Use it rarely because the car usually knows to crank it up, but sometimes I agree this button is nice.

I don’t want my car to know anything. I want it to do what I say and only what I say without question. I’m thinking of getting a 70’s truck.

Go for it! Just please figure out a way to try to compensate for your carbon footprint with that thing.

Slap a pair of truck nuts and maybe a jd Vance sticker on that 70s clunker and I'd say you're pretty safe on that one.
