Hyundai Is Bringing Back Buttons Because Touchscreens Are ‘Annoying’ (insideevs.com)

Hyundai is slowly backing away from the all-screen approach to interior design.

Hyundai Design North America Vice President Ha Hak-soo said that people "get stressed, annoyed and steamed when they want to control something in a pinch but are unable to do so."

Not having touch anything is a selling point for me. Bonus points if I can roll up the window too.

Personally I prefer a mixture of both. Touch screen for anything you don't need to operate while driving and physical for everything else.

Android Auto navigation, car system/audio settings, clock and system management, etc should all be a touch screen so you aren't navigating through turning knobs and pressing up and down buttons to go through various menus like your programming a microwave.

Knobs and dials and buttons for anything to do with audio volume, skip/reverse tracks, etc. and air conditioning.

Automakers will read this comment and think that everyone wants voice control instead of touchscreens or buttons.

Just to be completely clear then (and I'm sorry for yelling):

WE DON'T WANT VOICE CONTROL IN OUR CARS. AND IF YOU ADD AI WE'LL BURN YOU TO THE FUCKING GROUND.
