No, it's the same. You can control hidden things from the touch screen (like light length when opening the door for example) but most cars still have tactile nobs for everything outside of radio/bluetooth/media.
There are some cars that have touchscreen for essential things like climate control, but those are absolutely in the minority.
- brewdad 3y agoThing is, those cars with touch screen climate controls will let you set a temperature target much like your home thermostat. Once you figure out the right temperature, you don't really ever have to change it. I haven't changed the temperature in my car for months. I'll probably adjust it as summer turns to fall but it will be a one or two degree change one time and then I won't touch it again unless my kid drove the car and messed with it. Putting things like windshield wipers or headlights on a touch screen would be a nightmare though.
- ghaff 3y agoMy newish car does have buttons to control the temperature and fan. But, yeah, I don't really change it. I do use defroster settings in the winter.
- calfuris 3y agoMy current car (like all of the cars I've had since 2008) allows you to set a temperature target with physical controls. I don't change it as often as I changed the older direct controls, but I do change it often enough that I would hate to use a touchscreen for it.
