Nah. Most non-techies I've talked to about this are very frustrated with the move to touch screens and "smart" features they never use. This is particularly true, basically universal, among people over 50.



As a techie, I hate touch screens replacing what should be tactile buttons/knobs/switches that can be used without taking my eyes off the road. I don't mind them for a nav system. But, in many cars, they've stripped the radio and A/C controls and put them behind menus in a touch screen which has a dozen other screens that I never use. I don't care about all that garbage. I need to be able to adjust the A/C and the radio without taking my eyes off the road. And I don't need a default-always-bright screen in the cabin messing up my night vision. I was glad to find that setting buried in a menu somewhere, but holy crap.
