Also, touch screens are more cost effective for the manufacturers…
Anyway, I don't think we'll see smaller or non touch interfaces any time soon.
My 2 cents worth.

I wonder if they have any stats for accident rates between full touchscreen cars and cars with physical controls. I like having the physical controls of the G30. Means I can change settings without taking my eye off the road for too long.
