What got more complex other than audio from your phone and a gps map?

Take the seats for example.

Nothing --> heated seats (1 button) --> heated/ventilated seats (2 buttons) --> heated/ventilated/massaging seats (3 buttons) --> heated/ventilated/massaging seats with multiple different massage modes (??? buttons)

And that's just one thing, not even worrying about all the additional power adjustments seats tend to have these days.

(I'd still want physical buttons for the heated/ventilated seats ... but, yeah. The rest of that, you can put in the screen.)

None of that needs a screen.

My seats adjust all kinds of ways without a screen.

I have heated and cooled seats… with buttons.

So again I ask, what changed that can’t be buttons?
