The number of touch screen clicks I need to turn my windshield wipers on is just plain dangerous.

I’m old enough to remember a time when windows were rolled up by hand. It wasn’t perfect, but you never had to turn your car on again to deal with a window forgotten open.

Wait, touch screen for windshield wipers‽ Fuck that shit. It’s supposed to be a stalk opposite the turn signals because it’s safety critical. What next, touch screen for your turn signals‽

  Feels like I see people not using their turn signals more often than using them, these days.

I like the function some cars have when you can old down the lock button to close all windows (and unlock to open them), without starting your car.

If you are talking about using the handle, then there are still plenty of cheaper cars that have that, depending upon where you are looking.

  I don’t think I’ve seen manual windows in a car for at least 15 years. My lowest trim absolute base model civic in 2012 still had electric windows and would have been the same for the whole gen so at least 2010 for Honda. My 03 Saturn ion had manual windows (and the little thumb stick for the drivers mirror, my bae) but base model manual windows were already on the way out around then, at least in the US.

    The Slate Truck has them, so assuming that that goes into production, it’ll be an example.

    I really hope it works out with them, on paper it’s everything I’m looking for.
