Steering wheel buttons should be to go for all of these though not every car lets you use them with a paired phones map app unfortunately. You shouldn't have to look at anything or take your hand off the wheel to e.g. lower the temperature the same way as you don't have to in order to activate your wipers. 1 second of distraction on the highway is 100 feet less reaction time not just an example of someone being stubborn.

So you're telling me you never check your blind spots or look away from the road at a billboard or to look at scenery?

Checking blind spots isn't a distraction from safe driving it is part of safe driving, the same can't be said for these other things. If I want to appreciate scenery I just pull over and enjoy it. Particularly worthwhile places tend to have designated spots for this. As for billboards I can't really see why I'd want to be looking at advertisements in the first place, let alone looking at advertisements over looking where I'm driving.
