A new Chinese regulation will require cars to use buttons for safety-related functions, instead of putting them on a touchscreen.

The regulation calls out 19 vehicle functions which must have physical controls inside the vehicle, with additional requirements about size and usability of the buttons.

Those functions include:

Turn signals
Hazard lights
Horn
PRND gear shifter
Driver assist function, if present
Windshield wipers
Windshield defroster
Power windows
Emergency call system
Power off switch for EVs

    No, we’re just used to physical controls. This has nothing to do with entitlement, and everything to do with muscle memory and tactile control. Clearly you don’t drive, that’s fine.

    Edit: Not reading that phat edit.
