YAY!
From the article: "Euro NCAP, the automotive safety industry body for Europe, is introducing new guidance for 2026 which means that five important tasks in every car will have to be performed by actual buttons instead of by accessing a screen.
Indicators, hazard warning lights, windscreen wipers, horn, and SOS features will have to be controlled by proper switches in order for cars to be granted Euro NCAP’s coveted five star safety rating."
Personally, climate control and radio shouldn't be there either, or should be a permanent touch feature.
This will go into effect in model year 2026, which is probably fourth quarter 2025?
