Europe stepping up to the plate again with sensible rule-setting, this time in the form of non-mandatory guidelines for bringing back physical buttons for key vehicle functions including turn signals, hazard lights, windshield wipers, car horn, and other SOS features.

Touch screen displays arguably make driving more dangerous, and Euro NCAP agrees.
