IMHO, touch screen controls should be banned from cars, no matter how good. Tactile physical control based interfaces allow drivers to keep their eyes on the road. Touch screens inevitably take driver's eyes off the road and distract them, since they need to use those same eyes to figure out where on the screen they need to touch.
