    100% agreed! I don’t want to take my eyes off the road while driving. Just let me feel for the right button

      Using my touch screen my sequence goes like this:

      • Glance once to locate the button I want to hit
      • Look back at road
      • Attempt #1 to hit the button: miss
      • Look back at the road
      • Attempt #2 to hit the button: miss
      • Look back at the road
      • Inhale Mr Miyagi breath, preparing to catch fly with chopsticks
      • Attempt #3 to hit the button: success!

        Congratulations! You have now opened up the navigation tab, giving you convenient access to the many info and control screens for vehicle functions!

        Your next press will take you to the climate menu (if you hit the right spot this time) where you can browse a complicated set of icons and visual aids we made way too stylish and modern to understand at a glance. Eventually I’m sure you’ll figure out the very intuitive way that you can change the direction of AC airflow by swiping near the digital version of your vent and staring at it the whole time because there’s no feedback on how far you’re moving it except for the subtle, minimalist misty lines coming off the graphic~

          This feature is unavailable while the vehicle is in motion (despite the pressure sensor detecting the passenger operating the shitty touch screen.)

        According to a friend of mine the actor who played Mr. Miyagi would buy a lot of weed and sell joints he rolled himself to people who wanted a joint rolled by Mr Miyagi.

        I really freaken wish I had some evidence for this story since it is the weirdest one I know.
