non-feedback LED touchscreens vs. physical buttons
I love the clean lines of the Tesla, and that point did bother be before purchase. When my Father taught me to drive he insisted that I should be able to reach & adjust all the controls without taking my eyes off the road, his view was that "In winter, driving on snow or ice, that will be important".
I guess I might have wanted to change the radio, or turn the wipers on (that would have been a dashboard switch in those days, not a steering wheel stalk), setting the blower to demist the windscreen, and then turnign the lights at dusk (assuming Is tarted my journey before dusk), and that would have been about it!
Nowadays, by comparison, there are lots of controls, but I'm not sure that touchscreen vs. physical buttons id the only issue. I would never be able to memorise and find-by-touch an array of buttons like this: !!
Nowadays the lights and wipers come on by themselves, the heating is "set a temperature you like and forget about it", so none of those old things apply
Voice control ought to be used for everything else perhaps? Selecting a Radio /channel / Media Source and "Navigate to" ... but also "Turn on fog lights" or "Open roof 23%"
would avoid a lot of the need for fiddling with the touch screen.
Assuming that AP is driving the car, and cleaning the windscreen / watching a movie is definitely a growing-pain of AP until we get to fully autonomous. When central locking first came out I could lock all the doors by pressing down the driver's door lock, when that door was open, and then holding the handle up whilst I closed it (otherwise the door unlocked when it was closed). So it became very easy to lock my keys in the car! Now I just walk away from the car, so that problem is solved ... other than forgetting that I have left my keys in the car and the car being unlocked ... and stolen! Growing pains of technology.
