      And nothing of value was lost. Buttons are safer and more reliable, period.

      Easier to repair and less distraction. Honestly, I wish we could ditch those tablets.

      I honestly hate physical buttons. Touch screen is so much quicker, everything is at the same place. Also aesthetically more pleasing, without hundreds of separate buttons, and 90% of them you never need.

      I sold my 2025 Kia because of the touchscreen and the horrible user interface they implemented. The worst part was not the main screen but the small touch interface they used for the audio/AC controls. No more buttons and you constantly had to take your eyes off the road to fix what you accidentally changed.

      The EU regulations pushed them for it. The EU is the only bloc standing in the way of Big Corp. from doing stupid stuff.

      I like the mix, I hate capacitive touch on my steering wheel or other frequently used controls but for the satnav and other functions the touchscreen is fine

      I rented a car this week while mine’s in the shop and have been so excited having tactile, clickable buttons, knobs, and selectors. And it doesn’t make the car feel old, either – just useful.

      The best is a mix. Physical buttons for the things you need most. And the touchscreen for everything else. As much hate as mercedes gets here, i think they have the balance right.

      Good. Digital screens and buttons are an abomination for a car. I shouldn’t have to click 5 collapsible menus to do a simple function while driving.

      Buttons are so much better. Having to try and fiddle through a menu is nuts.

      Dinosaur fossil fuel car companies going back to the way they used to do things in response to disruptors? Okay what’s new

      Thank goodness for this.
      I never know if my eyes are bad but I end up pressing the wrong button on the screen, which then means I have to press it like 5 more times to fix my error, leaving me less time to look at the road!

      We really let car companies convince us that adjusting the AC should feel like updating an iPad 😭 bring back buttons I can find with muscle memory at 80 km/h.

      None of this article’s premise is even remotely true. The entire article is BS.

      Both the Chinese AND EU regulations and safety guidelines outline specifically that only critical controls like gear shifting and headlights must not be in displays. The EU NCAP guidelines then spends pages upon pages explaining how to make useful non-critical controls exclusively in touch displays. Zero carmakers are downsizing displays.

      I test drove a ton of vehicles last year before buying one. The large screens actually made the cars look cheap to me. Buttons felt more luxurious somehow.

      My daily drive is a model 3. I do find myself looking away from the road to do basic things like turn wipers on (multiple taps), choosing a radio station.

      I’d like a few more buttons to do basic things like turn heat up and down, volume and basic wiper functionality.

      I knew the floating tablet was going to look seriously dated, and this ensures it. It’ll be this generation’s pop up headlights.

      What’s the oldest car around that has a big old touch screen, I’ve always been curious about the longevity of the screen itself.

      As if physical buttons and knobs are so inherently safe? Good and bad ux are universal. 

      Do you guys not remember the physical gear shift knob on a Pacifica was so badly designed and placed, that in *their own* super bowl commercial, the actor (Kathryn hahn) used the gear shift as a volume control?
