Radio has different UIs for setting up (finding) stations, making lists of favorites etc. Great on a touchscreen. Just cycling presets doesn’t need a touchscreen and I’d assume almost all modern cars even do that on the steering wheel (volume up down and track/channel step).


Right but I thought you were arguing "Just don’t use ”infotainment” when driving" and these are still part of the infotainment systems. No need to throw out everything just because of touchscreens.


All of this worked fine for neigh on half a century. My fathers ‘77 Ford pickup had radio channel presets and basic audio fidelity controls.
