Hard disagree.
Point 1: I think the failure to respond in time is, while annoying, a minor problem. The real issue is that you HAVE to look to navigate 3 different incosistent submenus instead of just turning a knob using haptics only (unless you own the car < 1 week when you are still getting to know it).
I drive a lot of VW ID.3 and Audi A6. The ID.3 is hot garbage when it comes to its interface. It regurlarly crashes and freezes as well. Winter and freezing temps outside? Too bad the software for climate control just crashed. Have fun with your frozen windows and mirrors.
The Audi lets me turn all knobs without looking just by feeling their surface and clicks. No eyes off the road at any point once you know the car.
Point 2: it's much less the software than some assume although the engineers aren't entirely blameless. The CPUs used for these systems are the absolute ass low end crap you can find on the market to drop manufacturing costs by another $200 on your $50,000 car. Also management of the engineers is TERRIBLE from what I heard from colleagues at 2 different car makers (one being VW).
