    no feedback? 🤔

    either the button or an indicator lights up or you see/hear what the button is supposed to activate or stop

      *haptic feedback. The touch and press should be two different actions, not the same action. Otherwise, you need to look at a button to know where it is and if it did what it was supposed to do, which distracts you from driving.

      Touchscreens are not that much better in this regard, IMO

        do you also need haptic feedback with light switches at home? How do you know if they work or not?

          Light switches are physical objects, when you touch them you are going to feel them moving.

          So… yes.

            Additionally, I’m not flipping light switches while controlling a giant machine capable of killing people. Not sure why they compared the two.

                thanks for the help :)

                it was to say that tactile buttons in cars don’t need haptic feedback either

          Of course I do. Imagine for a second not feeling the different light switches in the dark and turning on all the lights in the middle of the night just to go to the bathroom.

          Sure, I know which I’ve touched AFTER I’ve touched it. I need to know BEFORE I press it, without having to look.
