    What about extreme violations of privacy? Let me know when that is “out”, too.

    Touchscreens were never popular with customers. Manufacturers kept cramming touchscreens in cars and using them to control everything becuase they were being stupid with new tech.

    Edit: I guess I should have been clearer. I was talking about as a replacement for tactile controlls in a car like the article is talking about. Reverse cameras and other things that are good to have a touch screen for make perfect sense but using your touch screen to control your Air conditioning in a way that you have to divert your attention from the road to operate sliders and buttons on a touch screen is dumb as hell.

    Can we return to transparent cases for Consoles and Tech next? I’ve always thought a touchscreen in cars were pretty scary since you have to take your eyes off the road.
