Default Re: Will there be a reversal in the use of touchscreens in cars?

I don't mind touch screens as long as I don't have to use them for everything. Like I don't want to use a touch screen to adjust the air fan speed or turn on a demister or such.

I've never been in a car with a rotary dial to control the screen, but I don't get how that can be easier than a touchscreen. I feel like you would have to take your eyes off the road more with that compared to a regular touchscreen.
The rotary dials are usually placed near the gear selector on the centre Consol. Easy to reach, your hand almost sits on it. Using the dial is easy and it’s quick to get through menus when you’ve learnt the set up. Some touchscreens aren’t comfortably placed which means you need to stretch out your arm to reach and doing that repeatedly to access menus and functions becomes ridiculous after a while. I’ve had both systems now and if I had to choose just 1 I’d go the dial.
