D While Tesla's Model S was not the first car with a touchscreen,its simple design and large display quickly started a new trend in the auto industry.Soon,most new cars used big screens to control everything from air conditioning to music and even safety systems such as lane-keeping assistance. But are touchscreens safe The argument against them is clear:if using a phone while driving is risky,then using a car screen must be similar.Physical buttons() let drivers use touch and memory to change settings without looking away from the road.A flat screen gives no physical feedback ()and finding the right option may require several taps.These actions can easily distract drivers. Many studies corroborate these worries.A 2022 Swedish test asked drivers to change radio stations or adjust temperature while driving at 110 km/h.In older cars with buttons,all tasks took less than ten seconds.But in newer cars with screens,the same tasks sometimes took 45 seconds.Another 2024 study showed that typing a new navigation (address distracted drivers for an average of 16 seconds.A British report even found that using touchscreens can slow reaction time more than driving after drinking alcohol(酒精)。 Safety groups have started to respond.From January,Euro NCAP,a European car safety program,will require cars to have real buttons for important functions like turn signals and wipers (if they want a five-star safety rating.The rule is not law,but the rating strongly affects sales.As a result,many brands,including Volkswagen,Hyundai,and Porsche,are bringing buttons back.They say drivers prefer them and feel safer using them. But innovation never stops.Even as touchscreens are falling out of favor,many companies are turning their attention to voice control-though that is a subject for another story. 32.What is the main argument against touchscreens A.Look modern but unsafe.
