Honestly, even without the danger factor it's a terrible interface. Last night I was trying to operate the touch screen in my wife's car, and the slight movement of the car as she drove meant that my hand kept missing the spot I was trying to hit. So even when you're a passenger and can focus on the screen, they still are less effective than buttons!

one of the main things i love about my mazda is that the display is not a touch screen, i can control everything with the knob and barely take my eyes off the road
There are laws forbidding us from touching our phones, but touching the embedded display is fair game? Bring back buttons, knobs and dials please. I shouldn't have to try to aim my finger at something intangible to change a setting while driving a ton of steel at 60mph.
Just knowing where the buttons are and feeling the surface of the buttons while I can keep my eyes and attention on the road is paramount.
