Good! Touchscreens for basic functions are idiotic.
I have a 2021 Seat Leon, basically it is a Golf with a Spannish design, almost everything apart from actually driving the car uses touch controls, with one exception, media can be controlled by buttons and a roller on the steering wheel.
It is really annoying and countries need to regulate that the following can’t be touch controls:
A/C Temp
A/C Fanspeed
Heated rear window
Heated wind screen
Heated seats
Exterior light controls
Media volume
Media play/pause
Media previous/next track
Engine mode (Electric/Hybrid/HybridCustom)
This has been a gripe of mine for a looong time and not just in cars. For fuck sake, my fucking oven is touch screen and has wifi. why?
Every time I wipe it off, it thinks I’m touching 37 buttons and it overwelms the CPU, and the system restarts
Never again
Same with fucking electric stove tops. Why am I to use touch controls on the same surface that heats my pots and pans? Idiocy.
Well, touch controls on appliances make more sense because they should last way longer than mechanical buttons, and it’s not dangerous for you to focus your attention on them like it would be while driving.
they should last way longer than mechanical buttons
Sorry what lol
Mechanical buttons wear out, touch buttons do not
Lol there are mechanical buttons who still work who outlive any touchscreen alive today by 200 years, what are you talking about lol?
Aside from media related options, why wouldn’t you want all of those to be automatically controlled?
Have you ever driven a car before?
Yes. Nice cars that automatically handle these functions for me. I wouldn’t ever want to go back pushing buttons when it can just happen when it’s supposed to.
