I don't know... screens require you to actually look at them to be able to do anything while mechanical controls can be designed to be tactile and to not require the driver to be distracted/focused on the control.
I drive 2014 Skoda Rapid and every single control I really need for operating the car is tactile and operated through muscle memory.
Muscle memory effectively lets me offload my visual and conscious parts of brain.
For example, when driving in rain I just manually activate wipers when I need them, except for heavy rain. I don't move my eyes to operate it, it does not occupy my conscious brain, it just becomes second nature the same way other things become second nature when driving a car. I don't focus on it. I see something interesting I want to see better, I just run wipers without ever thinking about it the same way I don't have to remember to move my right and left leg to walk straight.
I can't imagine having to move my eyes and my hand at the same time to start fiddling with a screen and it just doesn't matter how good the UI is.
