Not a Porsche driver, but I read about the Panamera's interior that the buttons look like touch screens but somehow do have a tactile feel about it. Maybe someone familiar with recent Porsche interiors can tell us more.
I would worry more about cleaning all that shiny aurface area all the time.
- close04 7y agoThey're "touch surfaces" (fancy speak for capacitive buttons) and they're every bit as tactile as a touchscreen. Which is not at all. The second you try to feel your way across any control surface you'll just randomly trigger all the functions you drag your fingers across without receiving any useful feedback. You have to look at the buttons before pressing. They do still have a handful of buttons for commonly used functions on the center console/steering wheel (temperature, sound volume, parking brake, menu navigation) but everything else falls on the touchscreen or capacitive buttons.

- close04 7y agoI guess voice control could do the trick with respect to letting you keep your eyes on the road. Personally I still prefer having a critical subset of controls firmly into the physical buttons camp. If current experience with voice assistants is any indication between making yourself understood in the surrounding noise and having to repeat the hotword for any command it can get pretty annoying. Still much better than fiddling with a touchscreen while driving.
