All these tactile controls are going to be deleted in the next decade as self driving cars go mainstream.

This is a foolish move.

Last time I was in a cab it had controls in the back for the AC, a light, the windows etc. - just because I'm not driving doesn't mean I don't want to interact with the car at all.

But you don't need to interact with the car without looking, that's only for those driving, so tactile interfaces don't give much/any gain.

Elon Musk is, as usual, right but with the wrong timing.

Should there be an /s tag in there somewhere? I can't tell.
