Especially in cars, especially in simple controls, touch screens are great for low screen real estate but cars are one of the dumbest places for them since there is so much real estate and so little need for a screen
I can appreciate the safety rationale. I hate what this does to automobile interiors / controls, and suspect that the distraction / confusion factor may very well outweigh any possible life/injury savings due to the cameras in the first place. The alternative of incorporating the BUC display into the rear-view mirror, perhaps in addition to obstacle warnings, might be an alternative.
Absent that, a fold-down ceiling-mounted display would be my next preference. Anything to avoid having a persistent screen on the dash.
