There are places where touch controls make a lot of sense. Cars is not one of them.

My stove also has touch controls and I'd like a stern word with whomever designed it because it's the biggest fucking bullshit. I've burned myself on those controls, I've had the stove turn itself off and refuse to turn on again because of water splashing onto the controls, I've had it turn on and glitch out because I've cleaned it off with a slightly damp rag.

When I'm driving I absolutely don't want to dig through non-tactile menus just so I can adjust the climate or turn on my heated seat. Plus, the lack of tactility sucks for blind people. Sure blind people won't drive, but imagine having to ask the driver to change your AC for you? In the dark of winter with ice on the roads that's just horribly irresponsible of whomever designed it.

Look at Mr. Fancypants over here who can afford a heated seat subscription.

The day they try to sell me a heated seat subscription is the day I put a heated blanket with a cigarette lighter plug on my seat.

And after thet, they will turn the lighter socket into a subscription model.
