At least it’s not that size and stuck on top of the dash. Mercedes need to get back to better interiors, I can’t see this moving them in the right direction.

Am I alone in thinking touch screens the most hazardous car invention of the last few decades ? You absolutely have to take your eyes off the road to use them (unless you use speech identification but if you do you don't need a touch screen anyway.

I’ve not once used the touchscreen in the BMW, thankfully they left iDrive in place and I’m using the excellent voice control more and more. The Golf has a touch screen, but I use Apple CarPlay, so can enter destinations and make calls via Siri. |

You absolutely have to take your eyes off the road to use them (unless you use speech identification but if you do you don't need a touch screen anyway. I think it depends. For stuff like navigation and cameras (things you only use a few times on a journey) a screen is fine, as long as there are alternative controls accessible to the driver (like Audi's digital instrument panel). But common items like climate control and such absolutely needs physical buttons, and kept off a screen. |

I reckon I touch Nav controls more than climate controls: climate is set and generally left alone.
Heated seats and music / AV interface selection are the most used.

Impossible to use on some of our corrugated road surfaces, too! |

I had a touchscreen in a Focus I rented and it was useless, not to mention covered in fingerprints that just irritated my OCD as I drove along. All I want is simple climate control knobs I can (rarely) turn up and down, with a few buttons for windscreen/rear screen defrost. The Nav is easily voice controlled and while it occasionally refuses to understand The Queen's Geordie dialect, the BMW Nav has no difficulty in understanding and finding the nearest Greggs - probably some local upgrade I ticked. Buttons on the steering wheel for AV suffice in that direction. |
