Officials said the policy on the handles, which are common on Tesla’s electric vehicles, aims to address safety concerns after fatal EV accidents in which they reportedly failed to operate.
IMO any type of touch control in a car shouldn’t be a thing. Drivers rely on tactile feedback on controls, when you replace them with touch buttons it takes more concentration and therefore decreases the drivers awareness of their surroundings.

Exactly. If you shouldn’t be adjusting it, then why is the touchscreen even accepting adjustments in the first place? … it should be rejecting all touches whenever the engine is running to prevent people from even trying, which completely defeats the point of having a touchscreen in the first place anyway…
It makes no sense to have an input that explicitly requires you to take your eyes away from the road in order to operate it.
Like gas pedals and brakes.
