What essential controls are you using from the touchscreen while driving? The music player? Navigation?
> You have to actually hold it down, you can't just tap it in neutral. That's actually a nice safety feature.
The car has no physical shifter, but a long press is a safety feature? My eyes rolled back into my head...
And then, not that anyone needs to touch the screen normally (because auto mode as you say) but if they aren’t all triggered by such a possibility and want to, those multiple layers of on-screen UI (that the haters are always imagining having to click through) simply are not there because it’s already been surfaced.
A driver can even learn to use it with muscle memory without looking, since it comes right up in the same closest corner of the screen with the same layout every time. Again not that anyone would ever need to because auto mode.
I don’t know why people have to have such strong opinions on things they know nothing about.
OK, got a little excited ranting there :-)
