    I suppose the advantage on aircraft and spacecraft is that they consolidate functions so you don’t have to have 90,000 switches in the cockpit, half of which you won’t ever need.

    Anything you need to find in an emergency absolutely should be a physical switch but anything else can probably be a UI interface.

    But in the car you need to keep your eyes on the road at all times, which isn’t so much of a requirement in the air.

      I can’t think of a switch you won’t ever need. I think the “sce to aux” story is a good example of when you need it you need it.
