I’ll never buy a car with a touch screen, and luckily I don’t have to.
We (in Europe) are now at the high water mark for touch screens. The EURO NCAP have changed their rules so cars with complicated touch screen controls get a lower safety rating. ADAC (German automobile club) have changed their rating system to penalize them, too.
Those are important measurements for normie car buyers, so manufacturers will adapt to them.
First manufacturers are already offering cars without screens again for 2026 (Dacia, Renault, Citroen, Fiat, Opel).
Yea, the USA are being idiots about this (surprise). Its illegal to use a phone or tablet while driving … but cars have a tablet mounted on the dash. So weird.

Hopefully some car manufacturers join that list soon as opposed to Renault and Fiat Chrysler 🥲
