Touch screens are so dumb.

  • AC controls, control surface heating heating/cooling (steering wheel, seat etc)
  • Volume controls
  • Turns, wipers, lights
  • Fog lights

Basically everything you might touch during the drive should be physical.

Wait, are there cars with lights/wipers on a touch screen?

[–] kureta@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

I know about Aç and volume controls. I hope the rest are not (yet) on touch screens.
