Many of the top rated comments in here are kind of missing the point. “No touch screens” isn’t the optimal configuration. Instead, you want buttons on the dash or wheel for commonly used actions, and you want less common actions on a nice large touch screen that also functions as a good GPS screen. The touch screen, since it can have scrollable menus, gives significantly more customization opportunity than pure physical controls allow.

I’d also point out many of the things they asked the driver to do are things you wouldn’t normally be doing once you’re already driving, you’d do then before you started. A much more representative sample of things you’d do while driving would be something like “turn down volume, turn on windshield wipers”.
