    No problem, they’ll manage to make them more expensive with buttons as well. I’m trusting the beancounters on that one.

      Joystick interface… Use directional buttons on steering wheel to steer the cursor on a windows-like point and click interface from around 1999/2000

        That’s almost as bad. You might be able to remember three to the right and one down then ok but really you are going to take your eyes off the road more than if it was a touch screen.

        Cars need physical buttons for all critical features. You push a button and thing happens. No menus.

        Why steering wheel? Use direction arrows (which sonstantly change position) on a touch screen conveniently mounted low on the centre console to steer the car. Imagine the leg space you can create by removing that bulky steering wheel and downsizing the dashboard.
