I think the Hummer EV is a dangerous and wasteful piece of junk. But one thing it does well is the interior controls. There's a bunch of switches on the dash under near the infotainment screen, and there's little symbols above them for what they do. Tapping a switch can change its context.

So you get the flexibility of infotainment controls, but the UX of actual buttons.

Too bad it's in a Hummer EV.
