My beef with touchscreen controls is the lack of physical feedback, such that I need to glance at the screen to know if the intended thing happened.
I much prefer physical controls on the steering wheel for anything I want to do while driving - media related stuff, cruise control, speed limit, flappy-paddle gears, that kind of thing. In an ideal world, this is paired with a HUD, but I'll settle for a small display in the console in front of the steering wheel.
When using satnav though, a touchscreen is so much easier to input, and use to pan and zoom around a map than physical controls - but I only ever do this while stationary.
A halfway house might be prohibiting use of the touchscreen while driving, but how do you differentiate between passenger and driver?
At the least, I'd like haptic or/and audio feedback when making a touch though.
