    Sounds like an expensive point of failure.

    Why not just have buttons?

    The future is stupid.

    I’m not in the market for a new car, but how about features that enhance operator focus, and reduce blind-spots. Less distractions.

    It still seems like you have to be doing a lot of looking at the controls to use them, which is the whole complaint about a lack of physical buttons.

    Everyone in this thread is haters. Yeah it’s expensive, yeah it’ll probably break easy, but damn that’s actually a pretty cool gizmo to have. Not remotely practical, but that shit at least qualifies as “kinda sick”

      Expensive, failure prone, impractical tech counts as shit.

    That’ll be neat when, not if, it breaks.
