You also can't use them with gloves on, and at least where I live, I'm always wearing gloves in the winter.

- enragedcacti 7y agoSome companies (at least some Hondas from personal experience) use electrostatic screens that fix that problem. Resistive also works but they are SOOO mushy and scratchable.
- taf2 7y agoYou can buy touch screen friendly gloves... I always keep a pair in my car... nice thing about an electric car is you pre-heat without burning gas and being generally evil to the environment:)
- Marsymars 7y agoThose don't work if it's especially cold. Even if cold-weather mitts had capacitive ability, they don't allow enough dexterity to do anything other than mash your hands all over a screen. I wear these mitts in the winter: https://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en_CA/mens-gloves/mercury-mitts-BD801118_cfg.html https://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en_CA/mens-gloves/merc...
- petre 7y agoYou drive a car with boxing gloves on?
- Marsymars 7y agoIf you're calling the mitts I linked boxing gloves, then yes. They work just fine for turning the car on/off, steering, shifting, operating the stalk instruments and adjusting all the knob-based controls. I've got Raynaud syndrome (as do a number of my family members), and the alternative to wearing "boxing gloves" in the winter is very uncomfortable.
- burmanm 7y agoThis. It feels insane that some manufacturers don't think about it, but I use gloves ~6 months a year when driving (even when my car has heated steering wheel). Operating a car with touch buttons is just stupid, I can't feel any "haptic" from those and some of them won't even register anything. Getting gloves off and looking at some screen while driving isn't safe.
