I despise touchscreens.

That extends to today's vehicles. I was given a ride in a new Chevy Silverado this morning and the display screen was full of icons and such that likely give TOO much information to the driver so as to distract him. I drive a 2001 P/U that still has regular gauges and some warning lights that tell me the important things to know while driving.

We had a GMC Suburban with heat/cool controls on a touch screen.
I preferred a copilot make the settings, otherwise, I had to take my focus off the road and attempt to see the screen in bright light.

No tactile feedback, just poke the icons.
Loved the car, hated the controls.

Same for car radios, I want knobs!

My OBDII tester lists over 900 separate things it is checking for!

Right now the CheckEngineLight is on. (2012 Jeep Compass)

The tester says I have a teeny leak in the gastank EVP system.

The dealer can’t find it!

I spill more gas putting it in my ZT riding mower than this ‘system’ would EVER protect the environment from!!
