    Imagine trying to adjust the AC and the “wrong thing” you hit just made the music become deafeningly loud, and the only way to fix this is on the touch screen so you have to take your eyes completely off the road.

    Imagine trying to turn on the blinker to make a turn and accidentally putting the car in reverse instead.

    Imagine a car that literally does not have any way to control the door locks. It just doesn’t exist.

    Imagine needing to find and enter a settings menu in order to turn on the headlights, defroster, or windshield wipers.

    Imagine needing to use a keyboard search function in the settings menu to find things like mirror adjustment (which is also done on the touchscreen.)

    Imagine having updates that change where these frequently used features are located so any imagination of “muscle memory” is impossible.

    All of these are real problems people frequently experience in multiple cars made by multiple manufacturers.
