What if I'm switching air vent direction? There's only 5 positions in most cars.
I know the one it was on, and I know how far to turn it to get to the one I want.
This removes the necessity of looking at it.
Same for steering wheel buttons (e.g. Up - next track, down - previous track, same for volume)
Same for wipers - only 3 positions and you can tell by their speed which position it's in.
The problem is when manufacturers take existing solved problems and move it to a strictly worse system like touchscreen. That's an inexcusable regression.
