It's not admission, it's purely money. New cars without physical buttons will not get the highest safety ratings on the new NCAP, therefore it cannot be marketed as safe as per NCAP which is fairly significant to buyers, especially family car buyers.

I would expect a car news outlet to know this rather than to make false claims about a company saying they listened to their consumers. Either show me a direct claim of IT'S admission and amend the article or do better next time.

Too many buttons are more confusing. A few buttons and dials make things easy. Its about finding that balance. Near future is car is no steering and pedals anyways.
