I hate loads of physical buttons with a passion.

I don't think anyone wants that either. But there can be a balance of physical buttons you use while driving the car and virtual buttons to configure settings and other such things you don't do often and/or don't do while driving.

Things like turning on the headlights and wipers and shifting the vehicle should absolutely have physical controls.

Things like navigation and traction control should have virtual buttons.

There can be a balance.
