Agreed - Volvo is still better than Audi / JLR but you still need to use the touchscreen for Nav, Media & some deeper settings on the Volvo
Nope. Deep functions can be mapped to hardware buttons on the steering wheel menus that show on the dashboard.
I probably won't own another Volvo of this generation, but they had the balance pretty much spot on.
Agreed that the Tesla and Audi are a disaster.

This makes driving and operating stuff a lot safer than things like the Volvo
I obviously no longer have my Volvo, but you do not need to touch the touchscreen. There were knobs for all temperature things, and all safety things. And the steering wheel controls allow one to do the rest and control the display from there, and there's a heads up display.
I felt that the touchscreen mostly was helpful before driving when setting a route and entering an address and then choosing the pin on the map... and whilst driving I never needed to do that.
I wouldn't mind a touchscreeen that software disabled the touchscreen itself when the car was moving above a certain speed (say 5mph).
I'm really happy that research shows that which we mostly all knew... hardware controls are safest and best for an interface. But I don't think the way forward is to remove them entirely, but instead it's best to control their use.

I had it bad in April/early May and now nothing.
That was tree pollen, we're into the grasses and weeds now. Different people have issue with different size particles, those with tree pollen allergies also overlap well with dust allergies, etc.

Mazda is removing touch screen functionality:

They're going back to relying on tactile hardware interfaces: knobs and buttons.
