VOLKSWAGEN IS BRINGING BACK PHYSICAL BUTTONS

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Volkswagen is reintroducing physical buttons for essential controls, reversing its touchscreen-heavy approach. Design head Andreas Mindt emphasized customer feedback that they want cars with proper controls for vehicles, not phones. Hyundai and Kia also responded to complaints about digital interfaces. The shift aligns with upcoming EU safety regulations requiring physical controls for a five-star rating.
