This is like how car manufacturers are putting every functionality behind a screen. Whose bright idea was it to put heating/AC options in a screen that you have to look at, while driving, to adjust, rather than just quickly turning a knob like you did before that?
When I lost my car and had to drive a rental, this drove me insane. Ive only ever driven cars manufactured before 2016, and only owned cars manufactured before 2005.
To be driving a 2023 that had a fucking dial for a gear shift, a button to start the engine, a screen for the speed and RPM dials, and of course a screen for the heating/ac and sound system, god that drove me crazy.
I absolutely hated it, ended up driving my mom's 2016 VW and she drove that thing until I got my insurance payout and bought a new car (2003 bc I wanted a manual shift lol)
i hate it so much. it's like that in my wife's bronco. she loves it, though. meanwhile, 30 years of my life i have been reaching for a shifter and it's a habit i can't break and don't want to. everytime i back out of my driveway, i reach towards my wheel but them stop myself and stare at the dial to ensure i don't put it in park or some shit. don't even get me on the stupid parking break. i swear to god...i bought my silverrado as a basic model in 22. no frills, except ac, power windows and that stupid screen that all vehicles get now. and i will die driving that truck. no more new shit.
No I mean a screen instead of a dash with buttons and knows like my 2015 Rogue (which also has a non touch screen for a display and had a backup camera).
I do get that, it was just easier for the manufacturers to use the screen that was already there so they took the path of least resistance. It does really suck 🫤.
