Touch screens have no business in dashboards. I don't care how sleek it looks to replace all the physical buttons. You have to look at a touch screen to use it. That alone makes them entirely unfit for the purpose. Physical buttons that can be identified by touch and provide tactile feedback are the only interfaces that make any fucking sense at all.
This fees like something so obvious that I cannot understand how we got here.
You touch the gauges behind your steering wheel?
How else should a blind man know how fast he is travelling?
Got a hearty chuckle out of me.
Dangle a tin can on a string out the window and listen to the rate of the jingle jangle on the pavement?
There often is a button or too within the dash cluster to change things like the trip meter or cluster brightness
On my vehicle, those type of controls are moved to the steering wheel
Yep real knobs and buttons make more sense, but i guess touchscreens are cheaper these days.
E: whoops wrong comment
