Using touchscreens for basic controls in vehicles.

I didn't realise that vehicle dashboards had degraded so far

Testing rules require car makers to ditch touchscreen for physical buttons for top rating | Engineering and Technology Magazine (theiet.org)

I still have proper switches for all except the heating/aircon.

But then if you look at how dashboards went before the invention of touchscreens, it's not a lot better. My 13 year-old Land Rover has a sea of buttons, many no bigger than a thumbnail. It's impossible to find the right one without looking down and studying the cryptic symbols on them.
