There's a reason most car (and airplane) controls & gauges have evolved to work certain ways, and have built-in touch/force feedback. For one, you don't have to take your eyes off the road to use them, or to see important information.

Agreed. I miss the keyboard on my Blackberry because I could type without looking, and there were far less typos.
That said, I'm willing to suffer the inconvenience of less precise button pushing and tactile feedback for the sake of reduced cost and infinitely variable function placement. If modern cars had buttons for every function instead of touch screens, they would begin to resemble an airplane cockpit.
