As someone who relies on GPS, a doordasher I kinda think it should be only for multi media and maps. AC and other controls should be nobs. Also steering wheel controls

Maps make sense but having play controls for music as physical buttons is amazing. I have both a touch screen and physical volume/next/prev and I use the physical ones all the time. I actually like the sync system in my Focus other than the fact that when you start the car it tries to “resume” the first thing it can find and blasts loud AM static 75% of the time when I start the car. The controls are good though.

Imagine changing gear without feeling which gear you have/changed to.

You have now given me the nightmare of a touchscreen gear shifter.

Europeans are hardcore, we use plastic dummys to crash test our cars, theirs can talk!

Im.on board with buttons, and touch screens should be guesture only.
