This Tesla argument is completely irrelevant. One company's managing to design a good touchscreen interface doesn't mean any other touchscreen is well-designed.

Rich people who can afford Teslas may have a safe driving experience in isolation but the vast majority (who can't afford a Tesla) are stuck with a poorly designed touch interface, making road conditions less safe for everyone (even Tesla drivers with their perfect touch interfaces), through no fault of their own.

Bring back the knobs.

Rather, let's bring the good touchscreen interface to all cars.

No. Just no.

You can't use a touchscreen without looking at it constantly. Full stop.

Of course you can. It's not like the buttons will be moving around.
