This is a win for consumers, touch screens are bloody awful when driving and take away far too much of your concentration

IMO the capacititive buttons with no feedback are even worse than the touch screen. at least with the touch screen, you will likely have a colored UI element on screen to press. with the cars that replace all the buttons with capacitive buttons with no feedback, theyre all the same color.

no feedback? 🤔

either the button or an indicator lights up or you see/hear what the button is supposed to activate or stop

*haptic feedback. The touch and press should be two different actions, not the same action. Otherwise, you need to look at a button to know where it is and if it did what it was supposed to do, which distracts you from driving.

Touchscreens are not that much better in this regard, IMO

do you also need haptic feedback with light switches at home? How do you know if they work or not?

Light switches are physical objects, when you touch them you are going to feel them moving.

So… yes.

Additionally, I’m not flipping light switches while controlling a giant machine capable of killing people. Not sure why they compared the two.
