That can't happen now that backup cameras (and a display for it) are mandatory. And they're never going to leave a big screen in the dash unused except for when driving in reverse.

They could, at the very least, only use the touch screen for things that you don't want to adjust while driving.

My 2019 crosstrek is like this, and I dread the day I need to retire it. Physical controls for everything, supports carplay+android auto, and the only thing the touch screen is used to adjust are sound balance, and auto-headlight sensitivity.

That sure would be nice.

I bet I could add that to an old car. That's tempting.

Yes you can definitely add a backup camera after the fact.
