    So what just sweat or stop driving entirely and adjust the temp because it gets a tad warm? That’s silly

    My 2007 has absolutely no touchscreen and I can adjust my AC/Heat easily. Takes only a second. Believe it or not people are actually more focused when they are at a comfortable temperature and I promise you 99.9% of people will dig through the touchscreen menu while driving to adjust these things

      Traffic lights? Literally any rest stops if you are on highways?

      Drivers are just so entitled they just can’t wait a short period of time to adjust your other controls a little bit later.

        Or you just have a normal car with physical buttons and knobs so you don’t need to stop when you want to adjust things?? Like why are you solving a problem that touchscreens invented?
