Dreading the day my car dies. I want more volume on my music? Turn a knob. Need to turn it off and focus? Slap that same knob. Weather got nice out and I want to let the air in? Spin another knob. Never have to take my eyes off the road.
Though my only experience with modern cars and their touchscreens has been 2-5 interactions to do any of the above. All on a touch screen so you have to look away from the road for it usually.
Just FYI: Both volume and turning music off can be done from the steering wheel in any car manufactured in the last 10 years. In some others (not many, tho) you can map the HVAC on the steering wheel too.
I’ll have to figure that out when the time comes. Being able to map things and customize how the controls on your wheel would be nice. From my limited experience though, that’s not a feature I’ve seen.
I’m not against newer tech, just the fact it’s often so locked down and buggy.

Good point and thanks for the response too!
