Give me buttons !

You have options...

Yes, You are correct..

The "Button OR Not To Button" debate has been around for a long time...
Even before this article, that I remember reading a few years back....

The Manufacturers will find ways to 'increase" their profits in vehicle manufacturing. With less parts to install being one of them...
Also, consumers will always buy the "latest and greatest".. MY25 being case in point..

My MY22 is closer, NOW to my old Rangers, in having Analog Gauges(Speedo/Tach/Fuel and Temperature) as well as having the "Buttons".

In ten years (mine will be 12 years old, then) who knows what will be the "Standard". The ICE, for example will for sure be a thing of the past...

Ok this just makes me sad they didn’t use him as the flash in the movie.

I was always able to reach and use a button, knob or temp slider without looking away from the task at hand.
As for the other A/C buttons,
A quick glance I could see them all and poke one.
But alas, those skills are no longer needed. I’m feeling old.
the Youngers need screens !
Give me touch screens!
I must have new tech !

I miss wing vents. :’P

My parents were smokers and they had the fancy powered wing vents. Thank God for us kids! Those worked great, pulled the smoke right on out of the car! I liked them. Must have been eliminated for cost reasons, but wouldn't bother me to see those come back. I will now out on my helmet and ballistic vest as I await the incoming!

HoundMav, I liked all your "funnies". About spilled my coffee I was laughing so hard, good job!

 

[sprubs]

not bad lol!

I say have all of the options but that's just me. the physical buttons are just electrical inputs to software so you could control all of this stuff with buttons, the touch screen and voice. then everyone can be relatively happy. it seems like there was still plenty of room for the physical buttons even with the larger screen. in any event it's not going to affect me directly or anything. I'll be rocking my 23 XL for a while yet.

Hyundai Realizes People Find Touchscreens Annoying
Shocking: People want more buttons

Much like Toyota, Hyundai is one of the few automakers that hasn’t completely given up on traditional switchgear. You’ll find a decent number of old-school buttons even in the most recent products. In fact, we previously pointed out how the latest Ioniq 5 and Tucson have more physical controls than before. New research conducted by the company showed that people tend to prefer hard keys to access often-used functions. Shocker, right?

Korea JoongAng Daily visited the Hyundai Design North America studio in California to learn more about what people want based on the automaker’s internal studies. HDNA Vice President Ha Hak-soo admitted Hyundai was initially blown away by Tesla’s revolutionary infotainment with everything embedded into a supersized screen. However, the South Korean company subsequently realized that cramming access to nearly all functions in a display isn’t the best solution.
"As we were adding integrated [infotainment] screens in our vehicles, we also tried out putting touchscreen-based controls, and people didn’t prefer that. When we tested with our focus group, we realized that people get stressed, annoyed, and steamed when they want to control something in a pinch but are unable to do so."
Fumbling through a touchscreen to set the temperature or adjust basic functions can be distracting. In contrast, with physical knobs and buttons that are always in the same place, drivers can rely on muscle memory to keep their eyes on the road. We're not completely against touchscreens, but some controls should be readily accessible. If Hyundai were to redo the research on a global scale, the outcome would likely be the same, as common sense suggests that an all-touchscreen layout is not the ideal solution.
Huge displays can be a distraction, raising safety concerns. Last year, Sang Yup Lee, Head of Hyundai Global Design pointed out that “when you're driving, it's hard to control it [the touchscreen], this is why when it's a hard key it's easy to sense and feel it."
Although automakers will never admit this, getting rid of physical buttons and knobs keeps the accountants happy. Using the same screen in multiple cars is an excellent cost-cutting measure. It could be worse as Tesla went a step further and even integrated the gear shifter into the screen.

The End

I don't know how true this is, but I'm pretty sure that buttons were actually invented by the 8th governor of Georgia, named Gwinnett. Think they named them after him. Or, I might be wrong. Now that I think about it I'm probably wrong.

 

[Bob The Builder]

That maybe the case... Guess I am old...

I still have an adversion to taking my eyes off the road, controling 2 1/2 tons of metal...

Jerry

That's the crux of the matter right there.
