[Good news] European car safety body is coming for touchscreens. The European New Car Assessment Programme mandates that key controls need physical buttons or switches
Money. Screens are cheap, just like the companies doing this. It fucking sucks, I agree. Needs to be made illegal with remediation mandates forcing these companies to replace every touch screen with physical controls of a certain minimum quality for free. Will never happen, at least in the US. Maybe hope for EU.
