| What a ridiculous reply. > The benchmarking shows nearly every company is moving to screens. Benchmarking? Really. > Sure you might have a few models that remove the screen Mazda is removing or de-emphasizing them across their product line if I understood correctly. > You literally can't have a button for every car feature. Yes, true, very very true. Also irrelevant. The point is that features like: - climate control
- stereo volume (and other radio controls)
- defrost
- etc
should be physical buttons because drivers use them a lot and should not have to take their eyes off the road to use them and should NEVER have to their eyes off the road to see if their inputs took (touch/display latency sucks).> And if your car doesn't have all the features, you won't sell well. The features that must have physical input methods, must have them, and the others can be touch screens if you really like. Also, fewer features is kinda fine, really, if it makes the roads safer. > And if you disagree with all of this, you probably aren't the type of person to drop 40k-50k on a new car. You'd be happy with a 2014 car for 10k. I.e., I must be cheap. Or maybe I would be happy with older cars (or newer Mazdas) precisely because they have these physical inputs / lack those dangerous touchscreens that I detest. |
