I'm so happy to have physical buttons on the steering wheel because the touchscreen, powered by some obviously ancient chip(feels 2009-ish), is mostly useless, aside from maybe showing the map.

That being said I don't actually use any features during driving, except for adjusting climate control and compulsively checking fuel economy.

I'm curious what features people miss now that physical controls are mostly gone.



Adjusting climate control, since that is now in the touchscreen, although thankfully some manufacturers are back tracking on that one.

Adjusting the radio station is the other big one.


New cars have decent hardware. New S-class infotainment runs on a 6 core Nvidia Xavier SoC with a Volta GPU and 16GB of RAM.
