Hope I'm staying on topic.
I hate to see such a huge influx of cars with touchscreen controls on the infotainment only. This should be banned and heavily regulated, nothing good can come out of it, same as we did with the phones while driving. Tesla is major example for this, such a bad design direction.

- sneak 6y agoThere are hundreds of chips in cars related to the computers that control every major system in a modern vehicle, even in a system with only knobs and buttons without a touchscreen in sight. Modern vehicles are a network of ~20 different independent computer systems. The UI (regardless of touchscreen) is only one of them.
