Mazda is purging touchscreens from its vehicles
I don&#x27;t even think you have to be defensive about it.<p>Touchscreens <i>can</i> make sense for things where you need to have a flexible interface and cannot afford your physical interface to look like the cockpit of an airplane.<p>But for everything that is even a tiny bit critical you usually want to avoid it if possible. This is why even 50k€ cinema cameras like the Arri Alexa swear on knobs and buttons.<p>The things with buttons, levers and knobs is that they are expensive and very few designers&#x2F;engineers are good at designing interfaces with them – either because they are not creative enough to get the optimal solution or because they are not pragmatic enough to test their creative solution to the core.
