  I honestly recommend seeing how it's done as it begs to ask how this left the design stage without the head designer being fired and barred from the automotive industry forever. If the buttons to control all windows were all capacitive, that would be bad enough on its own, but perhaps manageable. But they decided to go with two buttons for left/right window, then a separate capacitive button that switches those other two between controlling front or rear windows. And no of course it offers no tactile feedback, so if you want to open the rear window you have to swipe on this button you can't even feel and that you can't see the state of without looking down, then you need to find the capacitive button for windows control to roll the window down. It's 100% insane. The only way to make it worse would have been to remove the buttons entirely and make it all voice controlled only.

    "ok Volkswsgen, windows 50%" "sorry, 50% up or down?" "it doesn't matter if it's up or down" "Ok, windows down" "No, lower windows 50%!" "Windows already lowered 100%" "Raise windows 50%" "Please park and verify window frames are clear before using this command." "Navigate to nearest dealer" "Diving to IMAX theater"
