IMO any type of touch control in a car shouldn’t be a thing. Drivers rely on tactile feedback on controls, when you replace them with touch buttons it takes more concentration and therefore decreases the drivers awareness of their surroundings.
Granted the argument is you shouldn’t be adjusting it while driving but, my response is why have it in the first place.
Either that or ban obfuscated hardware 9r software in vehicles and require the infotainment section to be modular so that people can change out pieces and upgrade hardware as they want

Those should be a button or a dimmer switch.

And do the same thing for all electronics
