    I have a 2021 Seat Leon, basically it is a Golf with a Spannish design, almost everything apart from actually driving the car uses touch controls, with one exception, media can be controlled by buttons and a roller on the steering wheel.

    It is really annoying and countries need to regulate that the following can’t be touch controls:

    A/C Temp

    A/C Fanspeed

    Heated rear window

    Heated wind screen

    Heated seats

    Exterior light controls

    Media volume

    Media play/pause

    Media previous/next track

    Engine mode (Electric/Hybrid/HybridCustom)

      This has been a gripe of mine for a looong time and not just in cars. For fuck sake, my fucking oven is touch screen and has wifi. why?

      Every time I wipe it off, it thinks I’m touching 37 buttons and it overwelms the CPU, and the system restarts

      Never again

      Aside from media related options, why wouldn’t you want all of those to be automatically controlled?

        Have you ever driven a car before?

          Yes. Nice cars that automatically handle these functions for me. I wouldn’t ever want to go back pushing buttons when it can just happen when it’s supposed to.
