Audi have had this for years, dial with four buttons around it down by the handbreak so you don't have to reach up. Also some industrial pick and place machines work this way, I used to operate them over 20 years ago and the speed you could navigate through the screens once you built a bit of muscle memory beats any touch screen.

Well, "beats a touch screen on input" isn't really a bar as much as a line on the floor.

Another comment claims Audi no longer uses this system and went to touch as well.

Could well be, my car is over 10 years old.
