I must be in the minority. I hate loads of physical buttons with a passion. I had to get a rental recently and ordered a Jetta but the only car they had available when I landed was a Mercedes. I was pumped because I figured it’d be nice. I hated it. So many buttons all over the place with little hieroglyphs that meant nothing to me. Trying to find anything was impossible.

That being said, I never mess with the screen while driving. There’s nothing that I ever need to do that is so important I can’t wait until I hit a light or am in a safe spot, buttons or not.

Edit: This is so representative of Lemmy… simply having a different opinion or preference gets downvoted. The discussion on here is so much worse than Reddit was.
