I think there are maybe also a fair bit of car manufacturers that are simply rushing old converted ICE models with a battery to market that also really suck at doing anything with software (like VW). It's easier for them to do what they have been doing for decades than do something new. It's not so much that they don't like touch screens but that they lack the ability to develop good software for them. Particularly most manufacturers mentioned in the article. As for dangerous trends and Tesla, they do have excellent safety related metrics. There's very little evidence of their cars being more dangerous. The opposite actually.

No amount of UX genius can make a touchscreen visible when the sun is glaring on it. For the Teslas records, it might be because they're exclusively used for short urban trips.

  The roof, back and back side windows on a Tesla are tinted, how are you getting screen glare? I've never had that issue.

    I expect the person you're replying to is speculating rather than speaking from experience. People tend to opine a lot more on Teslas than other cars when they haven't driven them.

    The first part of your comment didn't mention tesla. It was just about the records of accidents that you mentioned tesla. I can only know what you write, not what you had intended to write.
