Yeah I really hope other car makers follow because I fucking hate touch controls in cars with a burning passion. It's idiotic and not safe at all.
Same goes for kitchens. Give me real buttons and knobs and not these abhorrent touch panels that refuse to work every third time. A good quality kitchen appliance is identified by high quality knobs that last for decades.
Omg I feel that. The oven in my apartment has touch controls. When I'm baking stuff with lots of moisture inside, water evaporates and is expelled though a vent JUST BELOW the touch controls. The condensation makes them completely unresponsive. Smh
You have to wonder if the engineer who designed that was a complete dumbass because it seems remarkably obvious that you'd want to keep moisture away from electronics.
