The idea that instead of turning a tactile dial I need to look away from the road to adjust temperature or volume if music, or I need to speak, is unacceptable to me. I consider ut terrible in terms of safety and UI.

My Tesla has two dials, one on each side of the steering wheel which allows for control of volume and temperature. There is never a need to look at the center console

Speaking is terrible for safety now?

Noisy kids in the back.

People with speech problems.

Accent issues.

Driver gets annoyed, curses and looks at the dashboard touchscreen at the wrong moment....

In addition to the sibling coment, I also spend much more time distracted and listening to the response from the car to make sure it understood me that I would spend just turning a dial/pressing the button.

And I still have to glance at the screen to see that it did what I told it to do. Especially in the case of quite frequent failures to understand me.
