I don't want more computer screens in my car. I want to feel like I'm controlling the vehicle in a physical sense. Old school controls like buttons and knobs make the experience even better.

I think the sheer volume of available options and controls for all the vehicle features and vehicle status/information requires an interface like an iPad to control and access it all. That being said, the day to day tactile stuff such as audio volume, climate and wipers should be available.
I think with so much being automated (climate for example does not require much resetting on the go), physical controls may not be something most people miss.

I appreciate what the tech can do,but it's application should not overshadow he look of the interior. It should enhance it.
