Mazda acknowledged this, and it is why they've gone back to physical controls: https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1121372_why-mazda-is-purging-touchscreens-from-its-vehicles https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1121372_why-mazda-is-pur...
- smilekzs 6y ago(Source: I've roadtrip'd in a Model S multiple times, and daily drive a 10th gen Honda Civic). The RHS "scroll wheel" on the steering wheel default binds to AC on (press), temp up, temp down. I wish I had buttons that bind to (in the order of importance) DEFROST, and recirculation (on Tesla also the "bio defense mode" which kinda is the proper solution to situations I would need recirculation on my Civic). And of course the LHS one binds to volume although I've always found car volume adjustments to be... differently nonlinear from car to car, but equally annoying! My Civic being pre-facelift only had volume plus minus buttons (both on the steering wheel and on the side of the screen), yet I never felt bothered.
