Tech bros, listen up: those sleek touchscreens in your fancy ride might look cool, but they’re basically mobile death traps. Automakers are slowly waking up to the fact that constantly tapping a screen while driving is about as safe as juggling chainsaws.

The Touchscreen Tyranny

Europe’s car safety organization is dropping the hammer on digital dashboards that force drivers to play an impossible game of ‘find the right menu’. Starting next year, they’re incentivizing physical buttons - you know, those nostalgic clicky things that actually make sense.

Safety First, Style Second

Research shows reaction times using touchscreens are worse than being drunk or high. Let that sink in. A study found drivers take up to 45 seconds navigating menus to do simple tasks like changing temperature - time that could mean the difference between arriving alive or becoming a statistic.

The Button Renaissance

Major car brands like Volkswagen and Subaru are returning to physical controls. Turns out, people actually prefer buttons they can press without taking their eyes off the road. Who would’ve thought? The automotive world is finally admitting that just because something looks minimalist doesn’t mean it’s user-friendly.

The future of driving isn’t about how many screens you can cram into a dashboard - it’s about getting from point A to point B without risking your life. Buttons are back, and we’re totally here for this tech revolution.
