None of that needs a screen.

My seats adjust all kinds of ways without a screen.

I have heated and cooled seats… with buttons.

So again I ask, what changed that can’t be buttons?

Lots of stuff is much more easily done via a screen interface, mostly configuration type things. How sensitive the auto high-beams are, whether the unlock button only unlocks the driver door VS. all doors, remote start duration, steering weight, throttle sensitivity, etc.

I hate that my HVAC controls and heated seat controls are via the touch screen but plenty of the other stuff is fine to do through a touch interface.
