Last I heard, carmakers are moving away from touchscreens. Because you can't use them without taking your eyes off the road.

  > Last I heard, carmakers are moving away from touchscreens. Depends on the country and margins. For example, Chinese, Indian, and Vietnamese car manufacturers increasingly use touchscreens to minimize the amount of SKUs to manage and because touchscreen display manufacturing is commoditized in developing Asia. The EU is pushing for regulation and limitations around touchscreen displays last month, but it was also around the same time the EU also announced anti-competitive action against Chinese automakers. The US is a mixed bag around touchscreens. Some Chinese makes like a Volvo XC30 or a Polestar will be almost entirely touchscreen driven, and Tesla is also touchscreen driven for cost reasons, but other companies like your GMs or your Stellarises still have buttons, but are increasingly trying to move away.

    > Volvo XC30 ... will be almost entirely touchscreen driven, Pretty much blows away the "Volvo is safer" marketing message.
