All of the "amazing" Chinese cars pictured in the article are full of touchscreen infotainment systems. China is cooked as well.
I prefer physical controls too, but you have to understand that touchscreen car interfaces aren't meant to be used while driving- ie, you're supposed to set climate presets and use voice controls to replace the constant fiddling with buttons and dials. I hate speaking to gadgets and sure as hell don't want to talk to my car, but this is where everything is heading.
Naw dog, there's nothing saying you can't use both physical dials and voice controls. False dichotomy. There should be physical controls that you don't have to look at + voice commands, not touch screen that you have to look at + voice commands.
