Unless it’s a service animal, I don’t like when dogs are in public buildings. Tired of trying to buy food at the grocery store but having to dodge dogs and avoid stepping over their leashes. This anger is mostly directed at their owners as I’m skittish around dogs I don’t know.
So hard to find a car without a touchscreen nowadays as they are so much cheaper to build.
Mazdas, they have a screen but it's all controlled through a tactile knob
Iirc most German cars had no touch screens as recently as 2017 but then people wanted Apple Airplay and Android Auto so all the players switched over.
I blame young people always needing their smartphones.
Not that smartphone connectivity isn't useful though...
Apple Airplay and Android Auto are the alright type of touchscreen. It can be much worse (Tesla).
The only thing I use smartphone connectivity for in my car is to connect to my remote Plex server for audio and for weather updates/alerts when driving long distances.
I never text/phone while driving, and I rarely if ever use map apps.
Looking at the new VW bus coming out, but it has a big center screen as well :(

PlexAMP is a feature if you pay for it.
It is like WinAMP was back in the day.
