I saw an ad for the Volvo EX30 and the center console is nothing but a touch screen. Amazing how HMIs and UIs just keep regressing in terms of usability
The buttons on the steering wheel are touch-based, too. Good fucking luck doing anything in this car without taking your eyes off the road. How is this even legal when it's basically like using a smartphone?
@volpeon I had to go out of my way to find a car with physical dials and buttons. Wish they would regulate that more, not being able to "feel" your way through the controls is a huge hazard :buncry:
@volpeon I'd actually be all for this if it could compel society to ditch the car as a result, but chances are that people will buy this car, complain about it and stick with it like the absolute car-brains they are.
@volpeon Meanwhile, Honda put more physical controls back in their 2024 CR-V as compared to the 2020 CR-V - climate controls have their own dedicated LED display with full knobs/etc (instead of being a touchscreen overlay), track skipping buttons exist on the head unit, and some capacitive buttons were swapped back to physical…
Can we just continue this reversion to physical controls, please?
