I own two cars. The newest is a 2013 because it’s before touchscreens became standard equipment. I’m gonna limp those bitches along until either I die or that trend reverses.
Actually, I am wondering if these dumb things can be replaced with aftermarket stuff. I kinda have my doubts. I miss when you could just pull the stereo out yourself and slide a new one into the bay like a disc drive on a PC.
For a while now I’ve been thinking about idea where flexible display can be combined with some sort of mechanism where a button on the display can be shown and underneath display in same place it would raise the display slightly. Just enough to be tactile and easy to find without looking. We might see these at some point as stars seem to be aligning that way.

I hope you don’t have to limp them along. My newest vehicle is from 2007, and my oldest from '84. They aren’t limping, they run and drive quite well.
Well one runs like a top. The other I need to replace the suspension on but the engine is sound.

They’ve been working on that for a while now. It looks like those stars are not aligning anytime soon.

Cool. I mean it’s obvious that’s going to happen at some point.
I said the same to a Tesla owner who informed me buttons on the steering wheel provide all these functionalities. But upvoters don’t own a Tesla.

There’s no physical button to open the glovebox? Better not keep anything critical in there in case of a software failure.

You have buttons on the wheel and voice commands. But it must be nice to stay in your little ignorant bubble so I will leave you be now.
