A feel like people are missing that this change isn't just for the touchscreen but especially for the abysmal capacitive buttons on the steering wheel VW introduced with the Golf 8 and the id models. One of the worst design decisions I've yet to see in a car. Right next to their decision to put a capacitive slider for volume and/or heating right below the touchscreen where you'd usually rest your fingers when using said touchscreen while driving.
- technothrasher 2y agoThe Porsche Macan's whole center console went capacitive touch a few years back. It is atrociously bad compared to the earlier cars with physical buttons. It's impossible to find any of the "buttons" on the expanse of smooth surface without taking your eyes off the road.
