Yes.

I dumped my tesla in part to get physical buttons back. For many reasons, it actually makes a big difference.

Yes, and all the touch controls for modern car stereos and A/C are absurdly unusable in comparison.

I just use my phone but I don’t fiddle with them while driving - only next and prev and volume on steering wheel

Those things are driving me mad *on the passenger seat*. I don't even drive. 😂

Still rocking all the buttons and a CD player.

Not really, kinda gotten used to touch screens 🤔

I adjusted as well but don’t really fiddle with controls other than the steering wheel.

Once in a while you add a bluetooth connection, but that's about it. Don't mess around with much else in the car

Hardware > Software when it comes to UX. but of course software has more flexibility, a healthy balance of both is good.

The article sums it up well 👌🏼

I was just lamenting the loss of climate control knobs in my Ford. Now you have to wait for all the bullshit infotainment center to load when a simple, tactile flick of the wriist was all it took back in the good ol days.

Oh wow. Glad my car has climate control buttons 😮‍💨

I do enjoy a good button

Big button fan

Yes. Touch screens are a shit coin.

They had loads of buttons in Star Wars. Everything remained analogue because they had virtually endless amounts of power and didn’t require the necessary efficiency gains of digital. (It’s nothing to do with it being fiction from the 70’s!!)

Touch screens are a sign of our limited resources and lack of abundant dense energy.

To be fair, I’ve probably over-thought this issue.

Yes. Cars need hard keys
