The most worrying increase I see around here is the use of a vehicle as an assault weapon. I think it was popularized by ISIS terrorists (Nice and Berlin IIRC), but over the past year we've had multiple incidents of people driving into crowds or cops over a previous altercation. I cannot fathom why such an offense does not lead to a lifelong driving ban.

But that's not really on-topic when discussing driving controls: luckily, most vehicle crashes are still accidents, not attempted homicides. And for these cases, whether the car has buttons or a touch screen does matter.
