Hyundai is slowly backing away from the all-screen approach to interior design.

Hyundai Design North America Vice President Ha Hak-soo said that people "get stressed, annoyed and steamed when they want to control something in a pinch but are unable to do so."

Good. This should be forced via regulations. Touchscreen controls are provably more dangerous than buttons due to the distraction.

Haptic feedback like knob clicks or button presses are much easier to use without taking eyes off the road as often.

Shhh, don't call it "haptic feedback" or they might make them flat, unmoving buttons that have a vibration motor behind them.

They already have started doing that

I got a new BMW 5 series as a loaner a few weeks back and it had that shit all over. I'm happy with my 2020, thanks BMW.

Don't you still have to look at it to find it first? Edit: sorry i thought you were talking about touch screens

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

You can wave your hand at a dial and find it easily just by touch

Even if you have to look at it first, once on it you can go by feel where as i find i struggle to do the same on a fully touch control.

I’m sure Trump and his new auto industry advisor, Elon Musk, will get right on that. 😔

Oh, yeah!

That's going to be a whole thing soon. Yay.
