Lol, this sort of shit also comes in ICE vehicles. The only reason this is more predominant in EVs is because some braindead MBAs think EVs need to somehow be more "futuristic" and tactile buttons are too old-school for them. How is it difficult to fathom that in certain situations this can lead to accidents?
I’m not defending capacitive touch in cars. I don’t like it either. I’m just saying that it being blamed for an accident is silly to me.
