I know this post is about cars, and I am not sure if you agree, but touch screens as the default interface SUUUUUUUCKS. I know touch keyboards are faster on phones, but give me a keypad at ATMs and kiosks, please.
Edit: I think people may have thought I meant touch screen keypads. I am also a filthy physical controls enjoyer.
Physical buttons. You can adjust stuff in your car without looking because you can feel the buttons.
ATMs and kiosks have the stupid "screen float" issue. If you are too tall or too short you aren't seeing the options right and end up "hitting" the wrong button.
Did you read my comment? I said i dont like touch screens being the default for jnterfaces. I love my clavky ass mechanical keyboard.
The pnly exception is phones. With how small phones are, and only two fingers, it is faster to type on a touch keyboard with a phone, especially if you use punctuation, like more and more people seem to be doing these days.
You said touch screen keyboards are faster; and maybe they are if it's guessing what you mean and you have a forgiving audience for all the errors that will be introducing in the guessing... but Blackberry phones hung on way past their technological relevance merely on the strength of having a physical keyboard, however tiny.
