It's not as extreme as that, but Mazda is very good about this. They ditched the touch screen entirely for a rotary knob only infotainment interface, and physical buttons and switches for effectively all controls. Still has a big high quality screen, but no touch input.
It was a big selling point for me, among many other thoughtful design touches. I hate touch screens in cars.
- iamevn 5y agoDid they change that recently? My Mazda is a few years old and while it does have a touch screen, it only works when you're stopped (and it doesn't seem to work at all in android auto/carplay). Absolutely love the tactile feedback from the knob that clicks at each position as you turn it. Also putting physical shortcut buttons to take you directly to the "now playing" screen of whatever is playing media or to whatever navigation tool is active is wonderful.
