It’s just bad UX. They will add some rotary encoders before long. No need to regulate it :)

if it is still touchscreen only there's not much way to improve it, you'll have to watch the pane of glass and not the road since there's no tactile information.
Tech for tactile feedback on touch screens exist today. https://www.theverge.com/ces/2017/1/5/14185134/tanvas-touchs...
Not sure I understand the downvotes with no comment...? Maybe a video is more convincing... https://youtu.be/JelhR2iPuw0?t=17s

Or this from BMW....https://techcrunch.com/2016/12/15/bmws-holoactive-touch-in-c...

Or Ultrahaptics... https://www.ultrahaptics.com/

The downvotes are probably because your proposed solution is ridiculously overengineered. Knobs have worked well for centuries.
Tactile feedback from keyboards are also good, but that was traded off for the dynamic nature of a touchscreen. Regardless, I wasn't commenting on whether or not this is desirable, just that the tech exists, which it does.
