Good. Touchscreens are the most unsafe feature added to vehicles in decades. It’s honestly mind boggling how it was allowed in the first place.
Easy, because regulations don’t mean anything anymore.
Headlights that blind you in the day and literally block all vision of the road at night, road legal trucks which bumpers that START at the hood of my car, all around limo tints on literally every car, people disabling their rear lights for some idiotic reason…
And that doesn’t even begin to mention the drivers themselves, so fucking self absorbed, tailgating, cutting you off for fun to get to the same light.
I’ve literally had a stream of cars going around me on street roads and so many dumbasses just follow the stream that I literally cannot safety accelerate because they’re all cutting me off bumper to bumper.
You should start carrying a gun if not already. The conservatives have successfully rotted western society.
After some idiot in an SUV tried to run me off an empty! road the other day I’ve seriously considered placing a baseball bat in the boot
Yeah I really hope other car makers follow because I fucking hate touch controls in cars with a burning passion. It’s idiotic and not safe at all.
Same goes for kitchens. Give me real buttons and knobs and not these abhorrent touch panels that refuse to work every third time. A good quality kitchen appliance is identified by high quality knobs that last for decades.
I pumped gas at a brand new Shell station over the weekend. The controls for the pump was one GIANT touchscreen (I’m talking probably 12 inches wide by 36 inches tall). It was fucking PAINFUL to use. Every touch took 2-3 seconds for the action to happen. Da fuck is wrong with a regular pump and regular buttons that just work!?
Can’t sell a button for $500
Also everything fucking peeps, constantly, with these touch devices.
Unpopular opinion: Unresponsive buttons are just as bad as unresponsive touchscreens. And touchscreens are not bad if you don’t have 5 keys presses to get what you want, if you can customise your layout and if the system is not underpowered as they always seem to be.
haptics of a button means that you can keep your focus on the street while pressing a button.
I don’t want a touchscreen in my fucking car. That is all.
I like touchscreens for lots of stuff, but I want that AND buttons. I want a touchscreen for media and navigation, I want buttons for heating control, light, forward/reverse, etc.
My ev6 has a good balance of buttons, but I’d like the screens to be larger, higher res, and more responsive.
