My "portable" AC has capacitive buttons. One time I covered the top with something to eliminate the intense glow at night.

The next day, the thing went completely haywire and would rapidly switch between modes without being touched.

Short story short, capacitive buttons suck and putting them on a steering wheel was a terrible decision. And the worst thing is that everybody complained when VW did this years ago. VW then claimed to have listened and promised a change, but kept on using them. For that reason alone I would never consider VW for a future vehicle. Something is pretty messed up there.
