Most electric cars like the Leaf and Niro EV have traditional analog controls for AC and most other features. The touchscreen is mostly used for Satnav and music/radio in those cars. And really can you imagine Satnav without a touchscreen keyboard?
- theshrike79 7y agoThis is mostly because of legacy issues. They have a supplier that has been doing analog knobs for them for half a century, and they're kind of obliged to still use their knobs. Also the designers are very much in the "everything has to have a button" -mindset, which is hard to get out of.

- MagnumOpus 7y ago> And really can you imagine Satnav without a touchscreen keyboard If you've ever sat in a recent upscale European car, you can. Unlike touch-screen keyboard solutions, entering destinations via scroll-wheel keyboard (like BMW does) or via guided voice entry is easily and safely possible while driving.

I already have a smartphone, which does both of these things better, and which I've already configured to my liking. The only thing a car can do better than my phone for either of these use cases is audio, so just give me a jack please.
