> I think people tend to think of worst-case scenarios with minimalist screen-centric approaches and pretend like they are frequent occurrences.

But, they are. In intermittent rain one wants to be able to adjust the wiper speed, not press a button on the left stalk then have to touch a tiny button on the touch screen. Likewise, if the windshield is fogging up, the last thing one wants to do is to have to look away from the road and navigate the climate controls on the touch screen.

Agreed, but realistically the auto-wipers work "well enough" to handle this problem. They just suck.

But auto-wipers work GREAT in cars with rain sensors.

So this isn't a critique of screen-only interfaces, it's more of a critique of Tesla's vision-only approach.
