Are there standards for touch screen UI elements?

  From the article: "The agency [NHTSA] says that the brake, park and anti-lock brake warning lights have a smaller font size than required by federal safety standards."

    But does that apply only to touchscreens or is that written before touchscreens?

      Can you explain why the input method is relevant?

      I don't know what requirements they are referencing, but the SAE standards are defined after well after touchscreens. (I believe touchscreens date back to the 1980s). But I think that is a somewhat unimportant point because the requirement intent is to make sure the warning is conspicuous. I'm not sure that touchscreens would be inherently different in that regard. Or are you thinking there's something unique to the touchscreens that makes them meet that intent in some other way?
