Saabs were great cars because they did practicality with a little bit of zest and elan, pure IYKYK. The death of physical buttons and simple interfaces in car interiors is an enormous safety issue. I suspect this serious issue is widely disregarded by industry because it costs less to produce and modify a software interface than a hardware interface.

I hope that cars reach a point where self-driving is real but we aren't there yet, and interfaces that require people to take their eyes off the road to navigate to basic functions are not appropriate for cars.

Don't get me started on touchscreens in planes during turbulence...and yes I am a brown station wagon with a manual kind of person.
