Could not disagree more. I find it matters greatly - with buttons and switches on the central console, I simply don't look away from the road to adjust the heating, turn the demist on or whatever. Only takes a very short while to become accustomed to where they are in a new vehicle, and extent of rotation etc. Then it's 99% muscle memory. No eyes required.
Which of course is entirely impossible with touch screen - you have to look, every single time. Swipe or press is irrelevant - it's the look that's the problem.
Like most I appreciate a decent map screen, but I detest the rise of touch to replace standard switches and buttons in a vehicle.
