Most of my rental cars now use touch screen interface. Elsewhere in this page, a developer complained that we "just don't take the time to learn what we need to." No. Just ... no. A critical control system should be simple, able to be used without taking one's eyes off the wheel/road. Any control system (atmosphere, lights, defroster, wipers, ...) that requires you to remove your attention from the road in order to operate a touch screen interface with a generally terrible UI/UX is BROKEN. And dangerous to boot. This is what I find now in many (not all, but the majority) of my rentals. Want to turn on defroster (which is usually a snap decision as the rear window is getting foggy/frosty)? You have to navigate a screen. Not push a single button. Want to turn down the radio? Now you have to navigate MULTIPLE screens to find the O(&^*&^$^$&^& control pane for the radio, and shut it off. And so on. This is not progress. This is risk. Pardon my pun, but someone is asleep at the wheel here. These control and interface systems are inherently broken, by not being as simple as possible.
