I do agree with you, though why not just not buy cars which have touch screen controls? You don't need legislation to filter your purchases.
You do though. Without legislations, cars wouldn't have safety features by default like crumple zones, airbags etc. Without legislations, companies could do whatever they want to pad their bottom line. You need laws to define what is and isn't acceptable, especially when it comes to safety.
