Cars do not need touchscreens to operate.
They never had to so far and worked just fine.
- Reubachi 2y ago23 Miata, generally mazda is good with physical controls on safety/driving apparatus. Once a week (more lately), a random picture takes over car's entire UI. As in, it is stroring backup cam data, and randomly showing a photo from weeks ago until I restart the car. Not a "deal breaker", but I functionally cannot use maps, music, the clock. "cars do not need toiuchscreeps to operate" yeah but i paid to be able to use the car's features.
- clauderoux 2y agoI own a Mazda CX30 since 2021 and the most important buttons are all physical. There is still a screen of course, but it is not a sensitive one. Basically, after a few weeks, you reach most of the buttons through muscle memory. You never need to move your sight out of the road to start your music or anything else... So far, it has been a great experience
- Reubachi 2y agoIt's a great experience when the head unit and screen work. My muscle memory is very much fine, however I can't put it into practice when the screen turns into a static photo from my rearview camera from some date in the past, until I restart the car. I have experience the same on a few cx30 rentals in same age range, you def got lucky. Or me and a few thousand others got really unlucky.
- JohnFen 2y ago> Cars do not need touchscreens to operate. Any car that requires me to interact with a touchscreen to do anything that I want to do while driving is, in my opinion, not fit for purpose. Of all of the malfeatures that have been incorporated into modern cars, I think touchscreens are in the top three list of the worst.
