Touchscreens sind out und taktile Bedienelemente sind zurück: „Apple hat dem iPhone 16 zwei neue Tasten hinzugefügt, Haushaltsgeräte wie Herde und Waschmaschinen kehren zu Knöpfen zurück und mehrere Autohersteller führen wieder Knöpfe und Wählscheiben auf Armaturenbrettern und Lenkrädern ein.“ »

« If you look at gamers playing video games, they want to push a lot of buttons on those controls. And if you look at DJs and digital musicians, they have endless amounts of buttons and joysticks and dials to make music. There seems to be this kind of richness of the tactile experience that’s afforded by pushing buttons. They’re not perfect for every situation, but I think increasingly, we’re realizing the merit that the interface offers. »

It’s about time they heard us.
This is great. I hate my car’s infotainment center with a passion and it’s the only way to use the climate controls.
As a Linux engineer, dj, music producer, analog synthesizer enthusiast , car owner, Appliance owner, I fully approve this. I am so sick and tired of touch screen devices. The only reason they use them is cuz it’s actually cheaper to shove a touch screen computer in a vehicle than it is to actually engineer correct physical controls.
I still need a phone I can slam though
When we were recently looking at cars, we told them it was a dealbreaker if essential controls were not tactile. I am fine with mostly touch screen on things like phones and tablets. But taking my eyes off the road to adjust things like volume (e.g. if hearing a siren far away and needing to know the direction) or defrost, those are safety issues.
Touch screens are terrible
Finally this nightmare is almost over.
That thing where it looks like they super glued a tablet to the dash, is soo ugly.
You can’t fight evolution. We want to feel things.
Too bad Volvo does not seem to have gotten the message.
We will not buy a car with a giant iPad where all the controls should be
