Years ago, I was in Germany with a Serbian, Japanese, and someone from Turkey. We each took turns trying to get the German navigation system of our rental to understand us, and then we finally pulled over to operate the very painful non-touchscreen navigation system.

I don't think the parent was talking about complicated systems like GPS, that you should probably set up before driving, and yes, they are often a pain, touchscreen or not.

A touchscreen is a dangerous interface for the myriad of simple mundane systems like heat up/down, AC on/off, fan more/less, sound more/less/next.., heated seats, windows... things that you may need very much want to do while driving.
