I’m personally glad to see Mazda ceding the high ground on this. IMO they are like RIM sticking to physical keyboards in an new Apple world.

There’s absolutely no question that almost everyone fails badly at in-car touch screens. Perhaps it’s due to the myriad poor quality past implementations that many people seem to be in denial of their obvious and incredible benefits for many tasks.

One thing people tend to miss is that all of those "obvious and incredible" benefits of touchscreens are applicable or should ever be applied top operating a moving vehicle.

And if there is somebody who does NOT fail at this, I'd like to meet them. They probably have a working perpetual motion engine, too.
