In this episode, Doug DeMuro dives headfirst into the contentious battleground of touchscreens versus buttons in cars. He boldly challenges the notion that buttons reign supreme, arguing that the complexity of modern vehicles necessitates the use of screens. With a touch of sarcasm, Doug dismisses the safety argument for buttons, highlighting the impracticality of cramming countless controls into a sea of physical switches. He cleverly points out that while some may shun advanced features, the majority of consumers crave the tech-packed interiors offered by brands like Tesla.

Doug fearlessly confronts the narrow-minded view that all drivers share the same disdain for screens, showcasing how Tesla's success contradicts this belief. He expertly dissects the cost-efficiency of screens for automakers, shedding light on the financial benefits that ultimately trickle down to consumers. While acknowledging the importance of tactile controls for basic functions, such as climate settings, Doug champions the versatility and space-saving advantages of screens in modern cars. He eloquently weaves together arguments to support the integration of screens, emphasizing their ability to efficiently house a plethora of features while remaining user-friendly.
