Very much agreed. It just results in a terrible UX when 98% of other websites have a standard scrolling mechanism

> Changing the temperature while driving on a good touch interface is trivial and incredibly far from incredibly dangerous

Looking away for even ~3s at motorway speeds is 100m driven without looking at whats in front of you, I'd say that's fairly dangerous

> The great benefit of a touch screen is unlimited update capabilities

It also introduces a single point of failure for any features on it, at least with physical buttons you stand more chance of operating other parts of the car if one breaks.

Modern cars seem to be moving towards all controls on a touch screen somewhere. I suppose this allows for more frequent updates, but in my experience it just leads to more bugs and more painful factory updates.

Not to mention using a touchscreen to adjust the temperature while driving is incredibly dangerous compared to a dial you can feel for without taking your eyes off the road.
