It might be relevant to know though, that the way VW did their on-screen and on-steering wheel buttons where not state of the art. Glitches, missing feedback, latency etc.
Tesla also added more on-wheel capacitive buttons in their Model S refresh and got negative feedback, but they worked on it for the new Model 3 refresh and I only heard a much improved, basically physical button experience. Not to mention their non-existent UI lag on their screen.
So if customers only know laggy screens, and weird feeling buttons, maybe it is not always the right way forward to go backward.
- adamjc 3y agoThe only way to realistically use a non-tactile button is to take your eyes off the road to look at what you need to press. That's the issue, anything else is irrelevant. I'm glad they're going back to physical buttons, I won't buy a car that doesn't have them.

- simondotau 3y agoApple has had success replacing mechanics with haptics on their trackpads.
- ListeningPie 3y agoMy mind is completely fooled by the haptics on my MacBook Pros touchpad, so much nicer than the mushy click that came on windows machine prior.
- simondotau 3y agoIt's astounding, isn't it. It's not often that you can know exactly how you're being fooled and continue to be fooled anyway. It's magical.

- lawn 3y agoBecause of muscle memory? And well-designed physical buttons have identifiable marks or features on them to help you find the right one purely by touch. The input type (button, dial, lever) shape (round, square edges to the right), dots on the button and location (I change songs in the top left).
