Who moved my cheese? It really isn't a huge deal. There is a divide that I notice, older people cling to buttons and younger people are fine getting rid of them. Is it dangerous? Hardly, I just wait till I stop if I need to adjust something that isn't on my steering wheel which is actually pretty rare.

"I just wait till I stop if I need to adjust something that isn't on my steering wheel which is actually pretty rare."

Tesla knows some people won't, and they still built the car this way. That is objectively dangerous.

You say “Hardly”, and then discuss a behavior designed to mitigate the fact that exactly the thing you are denying is true.

" I just wait till I stop if I need to adjust something"

A lot of people don't stop for sending texts so I doubt they will stop to adjust the temperature.

Human brains generally work the same and not having to take your eyes off the road will always be the safest solution, whether using knobs or using your voice to speak commands. Distracted driving is deadly period.
