We wouldn't even need to ban them outright. Just ban the usage for important things like windscreenwipers and climate control.
VW thankfully is making the move backwards on their own.
“From the ID 2all onwards, we will have physical buttons for the five most important functions – the volume, the heating on each side of the car, the fans and the hazard light – below the screen,”
Climate controls are one but sure, five most important functions. Honestly rip out the touch screen, implement buttons just as they had been previously then add the display; preferably with a decent HID as Mazda have done.
I'm still driving a mk6 golf and really can't imagine not having easy access to those features.
