As usual with these kinds of things, European standards bodies to the rescue [1]: >Euro NCAP – Europe’s leading automotive safety industry body – has stated that from 2026 new guidance will be introduced over physical buttons and touchscreens. >Euro NCAP’s rules are not mandatory for manufacturers to follow, but the threat of losing points will likely impact the decisions of many of the leading brands in the years ahead. Although I would prefer a hard ban of touchscreen-only car controls in EU countries, which would obviously have more of an impact.
