The conversation started like this as I was talking with some of my co-workers; I said, "If someone in the auto industry was really clever, they'd design a car keeping within today's safety requirements and put things in that we used to have. You know, dimmer switch on the floor, vent windows, a radio with buttons — the kind you could roll/push without having to take your eyes off the road.

That opened up a conversation that had everyone declaring how unhappy they are with the vehicle that they now drive and that, they too, missed those features of the past and of how much a distraction the touch screen is.
