they already did a study that touchscreens are too distracting and dangerous, buttons are more intuitive and quicker to use, without looking at the menu.
That’s almost as bad. You might be able to remember three to the right and one down then ok but really you are going to take your eyes off the road more than if it was a touch screen.
Cars need physical buttons for all critical features. You push a button and thing happens. No menus.
Why steering wheel? Use direction arrows (which sonstantly change position) on a touch screen conveniently mounted low on the centre console to steer the car. Imagine the leg space you can create by removing that bulky steering wheel and downsizing the dashboard.
I mean, I get where you’re going with this, but as much as we’d like adequate public transit in the US, it’s simply not going to happen fast enough for people to not buy cars any more. Prices will keep going up as long as people keep buying, and I don’t see that stopping any time soon.

2015 Honda - perfect. Buttons when I wanted buttons. Touch when I wanted touch, and I never had to use it when driving.
2023 Ford - Yeah, it’s bad and dangerous.
But screens are cheaper and cars are getting more expensive.
No problem, they’ll manage to make them more expensive with buttons as well. I’m trusting the beancounters on that one.
Joystick interface… Use directional buttons on steering wheel to steer the cursor on a windows-like point and click interface from around 1999/2000
Ah, yes! The Thinkpad clitoris and Windows 98 was peak UX!

Bendable screens that can add a tactile bump underneath a virtual button and that use force touch to detect a press.

Nope. Terrible.

/s before some car designer gets any idea
now with AI speed limit assist which you can’t turn off
finally. Assisted suicide.
Yeah, by going 20 on a highway because it misread a 120 sign
Good! 😜
