Car's one screen option

[80watts]

Recently watched utube video on cars that only have a touchscreen to change/do things with the car.
In 2017 most car manufacturer s had at least one fully automated car, with change settings only to be found a touch screen attached to the car's computer.
Inlcuded:
1. Windows/door handles
2. Windshield wipers
3. Heater/A/c controls
4. radio and apps for music controls (eg volumne and bass, treble, etc)
5. Headlight control (on, off, low, high, fog)
6. Gear shifter, Reverse, nuetral, Forward, drive, park, etc)
7 Brake conditions (antilock, emergency break choice)
8 bluetooth phone

While driving trying to access a screen on a touchscreen is time consuming and takes your eyes off the road.
The answer most manufacturers are taking is to put physical knobs for things that need access to immediately....

Thankfully, glass panel cockpits still have dials and switches. Trying to hit a touchscreen while banging around in turbulence is not fun.

Like they've been doing since around 1900.

When did cars have touchscreens in 1900?
This is about the car manufacturers that put every control that controls a car into a touchscreen... and finding out, its not a good idea....as it distracts the driver.....

Okay. I'll simplify it even further. My reply had nothing to do with touchscreens (reading comprehnsion).

Again, since around 1900.
