I'm just quoting the article. TFA talks about not being able to find information on touch screens. The quoted portion talks about tactile controls. Both were a problem.
"Overregulation" is a squishy political term. We cancel each other out on this issue (assuming you're US-based). I'm not advocating for car controls to have regulations, but would be fine if they took sensible action. But they probably won't need to.
That article is about controls on a military system. You make it sound as if people are steering their cars with touch controls, which they don't.
Screw overregulation, I do not want the government to assume that I am a complete idiot and regulate every single part of my life.
