Perhaps, but having tactile options like buttons and dials is considerably safer as the ui can't change and you can keep your eyes on the road

    Meh. Debatable.

    I think a few crucial buttons and a screen is most safe. To have all the modern features and settings of a normal car and have buttons alone would leave you with a 747 cockpit you have to look at anyways, and you'd have to cover more area to find things.
