Having a touchscreen to operate your car with is a safety hazard compared to having buttons and knobs.

Even just the bright light from it is a hazard.

I turned down my dash panel for the “plus lights” night mode (my car is a 2012 Honda civic, so night mode is literally whenever I turn on the headlights) because it was so blindingly bright I couldn’t stand it.

I was in car with a friend with a Prius.. not a super new one, but with the central touch center of shit and it never got very dim.. it was always just this distracting light in the middle of the car. I literally would not be able to drive that car, my attention would be drawn to the light because I like dark. But then it also reflects off the windshield and shit and just nope.
