Just don’t use ”infotainment” when driving. Changing the lights and wipers or heating the windows isn’t infotainment and should be dedicated buttons you can find without taking your eyes of the road.

But changing the car setup, choosing a navigation destination or changing playlists? Excellent on touchscreens. Almost impossible to even make well any other way. So don’t do that while driving! That touchscreen has 3 uses 1) as a read only screen for the driver when driving 2) as an interactive screen for the driver when parked 3) as an interactive screen for the passenger.

What’s important is to not conflate entertainment and setup on one hand and driving on the other. Those are completely different use cases and need completely different interfaces.

If a car brand puts lights or wiper controls on the touchscreen please don’t call it “infotainment”. It’s like putting the steering wheel on the touch screen. It’s driving controls. They don’t belong there.
