For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Touchscreens are the lower quality product here

Physical buttons do everything better and are safer for drivers since they require less attention to be taken off the road.

I will continue to refuse to buy any car that has internet connectivity or touchscreens. They’re unsafe and unnecessary, only allowing for more tracking of our personal lives

    Im with you on the always online automobiles and the importance of tactile feedback for important and commonly used buttons, but a small screen for a back-up camera is very nice.

    Im not against screens entirely, just ones that are touchscreen and hide critical buttons behind menus.

    A screen that does nothing more than GPS, Music and Backup cameras is pretty much the extent of what I’d need, and there’s a bunch of 3rd party accessories that do that.
