Many experts and drivers are praising Mercedes-Benz for their decision to bring back physical buttons. As one expert notes:

I am a big believer in keeping ‘product people’ away from UI design for dangerous machinery. The eyes and the attention of the driver should be on the road.

Another driver expresses frustration with current touchscreen systems:

Unmentioned is touchscreens frequently don’t work. I often have to make repeated presses on my iphone until it registers. The same with swipes. Since there is no audible or tactile feedback, this cannot work well while keeping your eyes on the road.

Some are skeptical about the motivations behind Mercedes-Benz’s decision, suggesting it may be driven by China’s upcoming requirements for physical buttons in cars.
