In 2026, Euro NCAP points will be deducted if some controls aren't physical.

Excellent. Controlling a car is not like controlling your smartphone. There is no need for the compromise of having no buttons other than cost cutting on the part of the manufacturer.

Europe for the win, again.

@Ars Technica I think frequently used controls need a physical switch, climate control is obvious, radio is a good second in the form of steering wheel controls, along with lights and horn.

Finally, the #GUI in vehicles loses ground! The physical, mechanical switch fights back. #ergonomics

#LastBoost allez let's go
Vraiment pour avoir conduit une Tesla, avec sa mablette de Wii U en guise de panneau de contrôle, c'est le cancer absolu, et on perd un temps dingue à le trifouiller pour trouver ce qu'on cherche
Non, je ne veux pas d'un fancy touchscreen pour régler la foutue ventilation de l'habitacle, rendez moi mes gros boutons qui tournent en faisant clic

What I would love is if car manufacturers would stop installing spyware and making everything subscription based.
