"Car makers told to ditch distracting touchscreens: Safety body will penalize models that don't have simple button controls"

Glad this nonsense stops, haptic feedback for the win.

@fribbledom Isn't haptic more a matter of imitating the feel of the button, on a more general display surface?

@fribbledom good news, I like that BMW has been sticking with the wheel button close to the gear. It feels much more natural than buttons around the screen or even worse touchscreen.

@fribbledom You haven't lived if you've never had to take off your gloves to switch the radio station.

@sesivany @fribbledom well, you need to check their latest infotainment then, it's the same (touch) shit, like everyone in the business lately... Pretty much everything besides choice of drive mode is now behind touch wall, including AC. Touch screens in cars are like fucking plague...

@srandista @fribbledom That makes me sad. It's true that my BMWs are several years old and I haven't checked the latest models.
