  I bet it would end up looking better as well. High quality switches and buttons feel really luxurious. If you look at Gordon Murray's latest car, the t50, he spent a lot of time sourcing buttons and switches for the car because he cares deeply about their tactile feel. There is also not a single touch display in the car. Because he passionately hates them. If you are into sports cars you kind of want to cry when you look at how badly some of the dashboards tend to age. Some of them look like embarrassing student projects where a 1990s web designer has crammed all manner of animated gifs with a horribly infantile palette onto the dashboard.

    > High quality switches and buttons feel really luxurious. That's part of why I have an Audi. It's a 2021 model with a touchscreen. But it also has high-quality buttons and knobs for each of the tests in the article mentioned and would thus pass with a very low distance measured. There are some weird issues, however. The audio buttons control the current audio source but don't fall back if the current audio source disappears. Like if you are playing music through your passenger's phone via CarPlay. If you drop them off at their house and keep going, the physical audio controls do nothing at all until you select a new audio source on the touchscreen.
