All cars should function like a cockpit- each function has its own independent metal toggle switch that goes 'KAK when switched. I will fight you on this. We need someone to make an interior that does this; sells well, and then the golden age of independent buttons shall return!

Seems similar to some tanks.

I haven't driven a tank.

I've never driven a tank either.

We will have proper computing in our age.

Returning proper controls for most things is just the first step.
