I just got a new Hyundai and I think they already have the perfect amount of touch vs buttons. Everything you need to access has buttons, the things which would be too annoying to do during the drive are touch

Just make it a good amount of buttons. Not 500 that all look and feel the same. And it'll be alright. My car is old and has very few buttons. Plus a radio and 3 large knobs to control the AC. I think that's the best concept. I don't even have to look at them most of the times, because it's not that many similar ones.

"Annoying", "serious safety hazard", safe difference, right?

Now if only they could start building usable engines, it'd be great.

bet this will be a premium feature.

The fast forward and rewind options on my car stereo are both touch only, and they rarely (if ever) work. I like everything else about my car, which thankfully didn't do away with too many buttons and mostly uses the touchscreen for the backup camera and stereo. But those two functions specifically being part of the touchscreen makes no sense and drives me crazy.

Biggest button needs to be "Disable lane keeping assist" and that should sort most of the stress he refers to.
