Featured New safety ratings prioritize touch controls for key driving needs

The top answer here rings true to me:

Why are traditional knobs not replaced by touchscreens in cockpits? - Aviation Stack Exchange

 

I was going to say that I've never seen an auto climate setup that will switch over to defogging the windows, but I guess you have.

Personally, I feel auto climate is ok. But what about when I just want to roll the window down and feel the breeze through my hair? Also, on EVs the climate controls can take away a lot of your range (ask me how I know after being stranded in -15 °F weather) while the more touchy seat heating and cooling functions are more efficient. I don't think they can make auto-heating/cooling seats that would be comfortable for everyone. Now companies are burying that in the tablet menus.

But I don't and never will. Like I said, it's enough to make me consider going back to an old car. I'm serious. My next car will likely be from the 70's or 80's. If I get in a wreck and die from lack of safety features, then too bad. Car companies aren't going to make a car that I like, and I'm not buying something I will hate.
