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)
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.
