The most annoying thing is that carmakers didn't move to touchscreen-only because people want it, they're doing it because it saves them money to ditch physical controls.
"Hey the touchscreen is already here, may as well just put everything on it!"
Yeah how about don't. It's such a pain having to fumble for things like climate control that used to just be a knob.
The ideal situation is having both.
Radio is fine for touch control imo
Hazards and climate control should be physical buttons though.
A radio needs to be able to do two things: Rotate for volume and press for muting.
A dial button is not that hard to implement.
Plus it can work as a on/off switch.
Easy: We just reuse the big rotary control already present in every car. Just press the Mode button on your steering wheel twice select Volume control accept with both brake and acceleration pedal being pressed for four seconds. Then steer left to increase volume and right to decrease volume. Press and hold the horn for mute.
