Hmm. In that case, physical buttons is the one luxury I'd pay a premium for.

    Maybe something like the SEXY buttons for Teslas actually become a more common thing. Wireless buttons that you can stick almost anywhere you want and set up to control what you want.

    Wireless implies batteries. Hell no.

    IIRC one of the issues with the 737 Max was that it had wireless internal components whose lithium ion batteries could catch fire. If you can't even get batteries right on a product constantly maintained by a professional crew, what are the odds of it working out well in a car?
