Then, someone else must have thought that if it’s a good idea somewhere, it must be a good idea everywhere.</p> <p>It’s probably for the same reason that I can’t find a new car with tactile switches anymore. Everything’s got touch buttons. In my car, nothing other than the steering wheel has any physical feedback. To check if I’ve successfully changed the A/C mode, I either have to wait until I feel the temperature change or I have to take my eyes off the road. And don’t even get me started on the massive ‘infotainment systems’. I don’t understand how we came to a place where more expensive cars meant fewer physical buttons and huge touchscreens.</p>
