> My car has a touch screen interface and I am puzzled why car manufacturers even bother. IMHO, touch screen controls should be banned from cars, no matter how good.

Touch screens inevitably take driver's eyes off the road and distract them, since they need to use those same eyes to figure out where on the screen they need to touch.
