Imo, a large number of people grew up with tablets. Even my own kids, in the back of the car finishing games while driving.
In 10-20 years most buttons will be gone in cars. Because the new generation is so used to using touchscreens.
- hnarn 4y agoI think that’s beside the point. There’s probably professional pilots active today that “grew up with tablets” but I don’t think anyone wants cockpits to replace knobs and levers with touchscreens. In a car you can get away with this kind of compromise because there’s an idea that it’s what people “want”, but my personal opinion is that car makers have a responsibility to ensure that design changes they make do not impact the safety of drivers, and I have a hard time thinking that isn’t a problem with touchscreens, because you simply cannot interface with the car anymore without averting your eyes the same way you can with actual buttons.
- LastTrain 4y agoMy kid, who grew up with tablets and is now just old enough to drive, hates touch screens in cars for non nav/infotainment functions. Now, he’s been taught to drive in a car with buttons, so he’s bitten the apple so to speak. If he didn’t know any better you’d probably be right.
