Good! Hopefully it will have no touchscreen either, only tactile buttons.

Is that a concept or a real shipping vehicle?

Oh god. It's the Cadillac from the article.

A more awful UX for a multi-ton driving machine, I cannot imagine.
Brutal. Operating these controls seems equivalent/worse for eyes-on-the-road than texting while driving.
That is obscene and should be illegal for car manufacturers to build and sell that in the US (or World).
Instead of just reading the headline and writing a one sentence response, you could have taken one second to click the article and you would have seen the massive touch screen it has.
I was being facetious, I of course read the "article" before commenting. Only the first paragraph was actually about this particular vehicle model, the others went on random tangents about GM/Tesla business direction and Apple sales data.

The large pillar-to-pillar screen is pretty cool but the text doesn't specify whether it's touch or not. Squinting at the image a bit, pretty obvious that it is. Same for the center console.

I suppose it's a given that all screens have to be touchable now. Such a drag, input challenge is dangerous when hurtling down the highway. Prefer to have physical controls I can grab onto.

Nope. Quite the opposite. Touchscreens aren't going anywhere.
