It depends, many cars put things like windshield wipers behind a touch menu, which I'd argue is a security-relevant feature when you drive your car into sudden heavy rain at 120 km/h. It seems to depend more on what's regulated, and less on what makes sense.

windshield wipers behind a touch menu

Are you sure you didn't mean a *safety* relevant feature?

Sometimes I have to wonder if some of the designers actually drive. If they did, I would think some of the worst mistakes would be blatantly obvious.

When in doubt, see Hyundai/Kia. They ain't fancy. For the most part, they just seem to take a consistent, practical, subdued, utilitarian approach that gets the job done on an everyday basis.
