I absolutely hate touch screens in cars with an epic passion. Its hard to put into words how high the hate is, so instead I will just vote with my dollars.
It's dangerous, but they don't seem to care about night blindness in many regards these days.
Multiple (growing in size) bright screens on the dash, headlights with piercing blue beams and auto-high beams sure are making it wild on the roads at night!
I was so happy when I figured out how to turn off the screen in mine, the steering controls still worked, backlight too. Made the cabin so much darker.
