Touch screens have no business in dashboards. I don't care how sleek it looks to replace all the physical buttons. You have to look at a touch screen to use it. That alone makes them entirely unfit for the purpose. Physical buttons that can be identified by touch and provide tactile feedback are the only interfaces that make any fucking sense at all.

This fees like something so obvious that I cannot understand how we got here.

Yep real knobs and buttons make more sense, but i guess touchscreens are cheaper these days.

Got a hearty chuckle out of me.

There often is a button or too within the dash cluster to change things like the trip meter or cluster brightness
