    My 9-year-old Subaru has physical buttons. The car still ignores them when it’s busy “thinking”, like leaving the sound blasting at whatever volume setting it was on previously, but now with a different song, and there is nothing I can do to shut it the hell up for like a minute or two while it finishes booting up the OS.

    Pro-Tip: “Physical buttons” don’t have to mean a damn thing.:-(

    Edit: I do like the tactile feel of them though.:-)

      Feel is the main part really, means you don’t have to take your eyes off the road.

        I suppose… but when I tell it to mute, and it ignores me entirely, that does not “feel” good either:-).

        Though fortunately it’s only the first minute or so after starting up, and after that I do very much appreciate them:-D.
