If you reach for a button and it's not exactly where your finger lands, you're now distracted by figuring out where it is and/or why something unexpected happened. Doesn't help that some buttons physically stick and reluctantly disengage. Half the buttons allegedly do something, but they're useless or pointless. Some have indicator lights one must have reason to look at before noticing (oh, the "dual heat mode" got enabled? is that why the HVAC has been fighting itself and can't decide whether to heat or cool? defrost is stuck on, and wife is freaking out that it's too hot/cold/something in here and doesn't understand how to stop it?) My car's "infotainment" system is so bad I've given up on it. When working with a phone, the sound is good - but rattling thru menus via buttons on multiple surfaces, never quite knowing what some of the terms mean (because I'm focused on the road, not on sorting out "MEDIA SOURCE" vs "INPUT SOURCE" in context of connecting Bluetooth or whatever), and having to literally alternate between sound unit face and the "OK" button on the steering wheel, well just forget it we're using the phone's own speakers (relatively lousy but they work). There's a speech recognition system in there too, but that goes nowhere (first, memorize all the possible commands it recognizes; next, say the phrases just right in a noisy & distracting environment...). Yeah, physical buttons/knobs are distracting too. At least a touchscreen system can better present/organize information, and likely comes with a viable speech recognition system. And can sanely interface to a phone via Bluetooth.
