touchscreens, buttons, controllers, what balance?

The main problem with having everything on the touchscreen, though, is that you are likely, on bumpy roads, for your fingertips to either hit the wrong icon, and either delete something you wanted, or turn on/adjust something you didn't want. Now, where you live, in Florida, with that warm climate and (usually) glass-smooth roads that don't get torn up by salt and/or freeze-thaw cycles, fine.....you probably won't have much of an issue with that. But try that on winter roads in Michigan, which can often look like the surface the moon, and it might be a different story.
The Tesla Model S's 17" screen seems to be pretty big too, with large icons, and wide separation between each icon.
However, I do find that when Model S displays a web page, the icons are often too small, or too closely spaced together, such that adjacent icons can indeed be accidentally pressed.
In this special situation, the web page icons are cramped together, because the web page is predominantly designed to by used by desktop PC with a "mouse".
I believe that governments should prohibit manufacturers from allowing drivers to browse the web while driving.

These days, I find that touchscreens can be mounted a little lower, because they are assisted by HUD!
One of the arguments for remote touch was so that the screen could be mounted higher, but this high mount is NO longer necessary thanks to head up displays...

I am aware that the Lexus added Enter. However, just a simple 1,2,3,4,5,6 radio presets that are absent is another thing my parents hate. Never in 30 years prior have I heard them ***** about radio presets. The base ES had the radio presets as well as the AC button.
I what Genesis is offering with the either/or option could be viable. With Lexus, perhaps not offer touch but just make the redundant buttons available.
