    Yeah I don’t mind the combo as long as the important stuff you interact with regularly is still physical. If I have to go into a menu to change climate controls, you have officially fucked up.

      You always must look at a touch screen to press a button. There’s no reason to use a touchscreen interface for anything a driver might want to do while driving.

      I have the same gripe with TV remotes.

          Wait… But what buttons are missing that you actually use?! Maybe I’ve just gotten too used to my remote, but I don’t think I’ve ever wanted for another button on the remote, aside from maybe a source button.

            Source, Settings and Quick Settings are buttons I find myself using quite often. Also the numbers do come in handy every now and again, as someone who still occasionally watches live TV.

            Now the Samsung remote does have an “Extra” button, but last time I tried using that on a friends TV it told me “this functionality is unavailable”. After 3 minutes of searching, I finally gave up on setting the TV to Game Mode and instead just lived with the input lag.

      The worst I’ve ever seen was needing to interact with the touchscreen to open the glove box. Absolutely ridiculous.

          It is, I’ve seen it on a car review recently but I can’t remember which.

          One of the worst ones is the new BMW 7 series that uses capacitive screens to change the air vent positions, as does opening the car door. MKBHD accidentally opened the door while trying to use the vents (about 5mins 40 seconds, not sure how to share the link in the correct time position from the app)

          My Model 3 is like this. (Please don’t judge, I’ve had it for six years.) Thankfully I don’t need to get into the glovebox very often but on the other hand that means I can never remember how to do it. It sucks balls.
