Audi cars used to have a system like this (dial based), but don't anymore.

Straight up the best method of interacting with the infotainment system I've ever used. It was a breeze.

I rented one with the last year of that system, and they'd integrated it with Android Auto, and I was surprised with how well it worked. Someone at Google was clearly thinking about this modality.

However I doubt Google has done the work in the interim to keep the UX in Android Auto working well with dial controls. Esp if only Mazda is doing this.
