    Touch screens are great in cars! For one purpose. The navigation. The touchscreen should only display navigation and function as a keyboard to search it, and only while the car is stationary. Everything else should have a physical control, at bare minimum as “backup”

        I’m imagining etch-a-sketch plan routing.

        My 2012 Pathfinder was the last year of that generation and had navigation designed before UX was really emphasized. It mainly relies on physical buttons and it’s overall terrible. Part of it involves an iPod-like scroll wheel, which is actually kinda nice to control zoom but that display is another kind of terrible.

      No, no they aren’t. If I have to stop to use a control in a car, it’s bad design.

      So far 15 18 23 people have shown they don’t know how to drive.

        Mate there’s like, a whole paragraph left in my comment. You can’t safely type any navigation information while driving. If you want to use voice control to navigate, it doesn’t really matter if it’s physical controls or a touch screen. Maybe read the whole comment where all of this was already addressed.

        Ok, lets hear your idea for how to navigate while driving. Please don’t say voice control, because voice control rarely works as needed.
