So, you’re saying that a touchscreen where you have actively look at because you don’t have any haptic feedback is saver on the roads?
If you can achieve the same thing with one single tap instead of going through what the OP has to, then yes.
And depending on how many buttons there are, chances are you have to look at the buttons too.
Many buttons just perform a toggle function that could easily be solved with a setting on the screen. Removes a lot of clutter and distraction. Less buttons leave more room for buttons that might be useful to have as a physical button.
Are you guys playing the pain while driving? The only but I actually used is the hazard light button. The rest are all around the steering wheel.
There you go, you admit that apart from the hazard light button the rest is unnecessary
I can give many examples about the stupidity of physical buttons in the Hyundai but limit myself to one example the ‘auto hold’ button… each time when I start the car I need to press it because a toggle on the display ‘default on/off’ doesn’t give me the haptic feedback. That I almost hit someone because the car starts to ‘crawl’ at high speed is of less importance. This is just one of the 70+ buttons in a Hyundai Tucson. Because there are so many I need to take my eyes off the road to verify that I press the correct one.
