I think that touchscreens are dangerous in cars but I’m open-minded and can imagine implementations that wouldn’t be unsafe…

What I am absolutely convinced of is that touchscreens are cheap and tacky.

The current trend of so-called “luxury” cars with wrapping screens all the way around the passenger is terrible.

A high end, or luxury, car should have physical controls and physical dials/gauges.

I’m reminded of a quote I heard describing the then new Bentley SUV: “what a poor person thinks a rich person’s car looks like”.

I'm thinking about the upcoming Ramcharger, but one drawback is the stupid screen in front of the front passenger seat. I'd rather have a leather dash.
