I genuinely can’t properly express how much I hate #touchscreens in #cars.

If your car doesn’t have physical buttons and knobs for every function (and also doesn’t have #CarPlay), I’m not even going to consider it the next time that I have to buy a new one.

@pawpower I really hope for one day have Braille-Touchscreens that can do proper 80x25 text characters and/or 640x480 pixel resolution.

  • Cuz right now most Braille-Screens are absurdly expensive and tiny.

So yeah, this is a progression.
