Here's what I actually said, with added emphasis.

> I don't want to have to stare at my console just to change the radio channel, to turn up the A/C, ETC.

> et cetera is a Latin expression that is used in English to mean "and other similar things", or "and so forth".

I'm sure this will come across as harsh as it's meant to be, but you went after a strawman so fair is fair.

My actual point is that if you're doing ANYTHING while driving that involves staring at a touch screen to ensure you touch the correct part of it, often multiple times as you hunt through menu's, then it's less safe than not having the touch screen.

This point is not invalidated because you can change the volume via your steering wheel.
