    *haptic feedback. The touch and press should be two different actions, not the same action. Otherwise, you need to look at a button to know where it is and if it did what it was supposed to do, which distracts you from driving.

    Touchscreens are not that much better in this regard, IMO

        Light switches are physical objects, when you touch them you are going to feel them moving.

        So… yes.

          Additionally, I’m not flipping light switches while controlling a giant machine capable of killing people. Not sure why they compared the two.

        Of course I do. Imagine for a second not feeling the different light switches in the dark and turning on all the lights in the middle of the night just to go to the bathroom.

        Sure, I know which I’ve touched AFTER I’ve touched it. I need to know BEFORE I press it, without having to look.
