There is a delightfully awful feature in audis where you can draw letters on a sort of touchpad and it works out what they are correctly a good 10% of the time. It's a cool tech I guess, but a really quite awful idea for cars, both in terms of UX and keeping concentration on the road.

My car has this. It's actually pretty well-done, and I can do it while keeping a hand on the wheel and eyes on the road.

Of course, I could also stare at the screen and use the knob to rotate through a keyboard, or use my voice. It's all about the options!
