> they should ban all new touch screen controls on all new vehicles built past the year 2025

100% agree; there is no way to make touchscreen controls safe in a vehicle, since there is effectively no way to use them eyes-free. To borrow the classic book title, touch controls in cars are unsafe at any speed.

Is it really an unpopular opinion, though? I drive a hybrid with a touchscreen Navigation/Entertainment system and own an iPhone. Both are unusable in bright sunlight. I can’t imagine a car that relies 100% on a touchscreen - and I also think that we should be using e-ink on those screens.
