Mazda is ditching touchscreens, and I doubt they’ll be the last (if they survive 2020).

Safety controls aren’t something that should be subject to “move fast and break things.”

I'm not saying the cost savings are necessarily worth it. I strongly dislike the move to touchscreen interfaces in situations where they don't make sense. I think cost savings might be a reason many car companies have chosen (IMO) a clearly worse interface, especially if you look at it from the perspective of an executive trying to decrease costs.

Sadly they kind of forgot about that in electric Mazda MX-30, which proudly adds a touchscreen for climate controls -_-
