At least they have physical buttons below the screen for media, hazards and heated windscreens & seats, plus all the steering wheel controls.

For now. The new Volvos are getting what they developed for Polestar. Android Automotive for the head unit platform, which is dope, but even fewer physical buttons on the dash. 😬

My guess is that this will change though. I don’t even see hazards on the dash. I don’t think that’s even legal in a lot of places.

Edit: also, the current generation setup on Volvos has physical controls for audio, hazards, window defrost, lights, cruise, voice control, seat position, drive mode, and vent orientation. Seat temperature is on the screen next to climate controls.
