So, despite the agreed-on stupidity, at least the screens DON'T seem to burdened with smears of whatever food has been consumed, or other contaminants, e.g. hand lotions, ink from newspapers, general filth...
And let's not even
think about the disease vectors that the remotes and seat controls pose!
