Eh, those backup cameras are super useful though, and the screen can be small. My 2013 Kia has mostly physical buttons and like an 8 inch or so touchscreen (that I never touch). I would hate losing that camera.
Plus those screens can be useful for safety. I much prefer the screen on my dashboard for maps compared to having it on my phone (even with a mount it's bouncy and small)

- thebiss 4y agoAutomotive screens sizes are small because they must exceed vibration and temperature tolerances of other devices, which drives up cost. Unlike an iPad, in-car screens need to work from ~0F to ~130F every day, because the back-up camera MUST work. When Tesla introduced giant screens, then ran into problems with panels not being "automotive grade."

- anon3242 4y agoA large screen with bad UI design would feel cheaper. With physical buttons and knobs, you can have finishes and smooth tactile feedbacks that make them feel luxurious. However with touchscreen UIs it is extremely hard to make it feel polished and high-quality, almost perfectly balancing efficiency and aesthetics, like apple used to do.
