I have worked on touchscreen UIs for cars. I have a car with touchscreen UI. As a user, I hate them. They are unergonomic and irresponsible.

  Here's a way to stop them: make it illegal to have car controls without tactile feedback. Changing volume or radio stations, changing AC, everything the driver might do in the car, should never be done only through a touchscreen, which is too distracting and unsafe.

    It's illegal to use your smartphone while driving, but somehow if you integrate the same technology into the car it is perfectly fine.

      Maybe they can start selling a hands-free add-on kit for the car's controls..

        Don’t most of these systems support voice control?

      In many EU countries it's definitely not illegal to use your smartphone while driving. Distracted driving is illegal, but using your smartphone doesn't automatically mean that you were distracted any more or less than using your car touchscreen would. The real truth is that enforcement is non-existent and almost nobody gets in trouble for using a phone while driving even if it's specifically forbidden.
