      Same, I’ve got an Opel Corsa from 2016, so it’s pretty much brand new.

      The only things in the wheel are the speed control, wipers, and default lights.

      For everything else required for driving, such as fog lights, emergency lights, front and back Window heating, AC, radio, and of course the shift stick, I’ll need to remove a hand from the wheel.

      Luckily for me, the Touchscreen in the middle only handles less important things like navigation and external music sources.

          Oh right, I do actually have track, volume, and “take call” on the wheel. I think I did use them once, but it just never stuck since they felt awkward to use.

          It’s funny that hazard lights are not included in the list and while they’re not part of a touch screen interface for any car as far as I know, I also know some older cars used to mount that button on top of the steering wheel and I kind of wish we could go back to that.

          Yes, you can operate them without letting go of the steering wheel or taking your eyes off the road.

            I’m definitely taking my hand off the wheel to operate things like headlights or wiper speed, which are dials on the end of a stalk. It would be really difficult not to.
