I’m not trying to be a smart ass, but none of this explains how a touchscreen is superior to physical buttons.
If you hand misses a physical button, you easily orient yourself by recognizing the shape of the and relative location of the button by touch, whereas a mistouch on screen might have activated some functionality, or at the very least is harder to orient without looking because there are no physical features.
While OEM infotainment systems universally suck, it’s a non sequitur to say that a touchscreen fixes any of these issues, in particular your Bluetooth and voice problems. My Acura has a touchscreen and voice and it sucks. The voice is slow to respond with constant boilerplate announcements, and the typing addresses into the gps is painful, even when using autocomplete (it animates the typing, and then forces you to reconfirm the completed text.)
- ctdonath 6y ago“Why is touchscreen better” wasn’t the question. Point, directed at parent post, is buttons aren’t inherently better. Touch and voice control can be improved with an overnight software update.
- jonathankoren 6y agoActually, it was.
