Our car has a decent sized touch screen and I think it's great. I can browse Spotify rather whatever CD I left in the car 3 years ago, I can use Google maps rather than the rubbish build in navigation, I can set the clock to BST without getting the manual out etc.
However, none of the cars primary controls are on the touch screen. Air-conditioned, volume, gear selector, menus for range and fuel consumption all have physical buttons.
- perlgeek 3y agoThat's the optimal solution, IMHO. You don't want to enter an address in the navigation system with buttons or a scroll wheel, that's just horrible. So you still need that touchscreen, but hopefully not while driving, or only very rarely so. All the functions that you often need while driving should be accessible with buttons or other forms of UI that give you tactile feedback, and which you don't have to see to engage.
