There's a reason in #aviation there are all dedicaded buttons and switches and no #touchscreens:

• Because people can blindly press buttons and turn dials without taking their eyes off the road!

Also said controls are way more intuitive because they all are presented on a single & flat control plane with only settings that users don't need to access during driving (i.e. audio equalizer & -presets) put onto a secondary control plane because it's not expected that one has to fumble with these or that if anyone wants to, they'll have time to pull over and stop driving...

• Not to mention simple buttons - even a custom faceplate of those - are cheaper than a touchscreen and way easier to get used to.

If I want a touchscreen in my car I'd just take Smartphone and put it into a holder.

• The fact that as of writing no car [that I'm aware of] comes [from the factory by default] with a smartphone holder with adjustable USB-C charging connector for a smooth experience of just "PnP" charging and audio in the peripheral vision of the driver is beyond me.

• What am I supposed to do with a center console that is wider than the middle front seat of a #CrownVic? And why does it have some shitty armrest with a tiny compartment??

Personally, the more I've driven cars made after 2010 the more angry I get...

@catsalad @AdminKirsty I have way better investment opportinities for that kind of money.

Like importing a 2011 #Ford #CVPI / P-72a instead.

Because it's a cool, iconic and easy to mod car...
