> physical layout of buttons is usually stateless - press button thing turns on, press it again it turns off

Not to be pedantic, but that is a state. But I get what you mean: the button has a fixed place. Know your car well enough and you won't even need to look there to turn the thing off or on.

> stateful UI

OP means that the screen has different modes that you traverse between, the car is still stateful.

A switch with two positions is still a stateful UI unless it is a momentary push button without LED as the position of the switch represents the state of the system.

But gotcha, this depends on your definition of "stateful UI"
