I look forward to forming a new car company called "Analog".

The cars will have buttons and knobs located in positions that require no looking to operate.
Uh thank government regulation for that one. Mandatory backup cameras is why every car now has a stupid touch screen in it. If they have to use that dashboard real-estate for that they sort of have no choice but to make that screen multifunctional. Of course that cost is passed on to the consumers where now they are footing the bill of thousands of extra dollars for that. God help you if it ever breaks or malfunctions.
