Tech and car companies are
ditching touch screens
and bringing back physical buttons to their products.
Despite a surge of touch screens being incorporated into devices for years, some of the world’s biggest tech companies are going back to basics.
Many that converted to the touch screen may have had their transformation perceived as their assimilation into modern technology.
Experts, however, have hinted the embrace of touch screens was more cost related than any other factor.
Companies such as BMW and Volkswagen are taking to implementing buttons instead of having touch screens that divert the driver’s attentionÂ
Tesla are one of the main manufacturers that continue to have full controls through the touchscreen interface, which experts have said are a ‘major distraction’
Chief executive for Copper, Sam Calisch, sad: ‘Now that touch screens are the cheapest option, they’re being deployed everywhere, even in places they don’t belong,’ reported the Wall Street Journal.
