The problem I have with touch screens in cars is lining up your finger so that it presses the right area of the screen, which is difficult when driving (and dangerous). Why can't they integrate some sort of capacitive proximity sensor matrix in the LCD that will display a crosshair cursor as your finger gets near the screen? This would help immensely with lining up the press and allow me to use the thing quickly like analog controls.
