It's strange that anyone thinks it's even desirable. Touchscreens aren't even pleasant to use in this context.
- DavidPeiffer 5y agoI hate touchscreens in cars, but I'll give Tesla the fact that their touchscreen is a modern screen that's not a complete piece of crap to interact with. When phones can run at 30 fps and have no noticeable lag, it's infuriating to switch to a car which stutters on some ugly, unnecessary graphics and takes 0.25 seconds to respond to a touch input. Not to mention the whole "you're supposed to be driving a car" aspect.
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoYou phone doesn't have to survive 125C for ten years of continual vibration.
- DavidPeiffer 5y agoIt doesn't. If you can't provide an adequate user experience free of large input delays, you should have never installed a touchscreen in the first place. Infotainment systems have gotten less bad, but I haven't seen notable advancement in reducing time spent with eyes off of the road the way a physical button or knob does.
- adamcstephens 5y agoThey install touchscreens because they think people want them. The cars sell, because the only choice is touchscreens, and their decisions are validated. Rinse and repeat.
