Seems I read here a couple months ago that they’re doing away with screens because their the reason for so many accidents.

On a related note, the U.S. Navy ditched touchscreen controls on destroyers after separate fatal collisions involving the USS John S. McCain and the USS Fitzgerald.

Touchscreens are for programmers who may not even drive, bean counters, and snake oil salesmen, not for actual drivers.

Not all. Just for steering and throttle.
