Audi have explicitly said they won't do that.[0]

“Audi was – and still is, but was maybe more so in the past – known for this joy of use, the haptic sensation when you push and toggle buttons. This is exactly what we wanted to bring back in the car, but combining it with the touch-less [gesture control] interaction with the car. We believe… this is like an expensive watch, which you can really use often, and even show off to your friends. For sure we will have [physical controls in the future], yeah.”

Oh I hope not. Audis are by far the best when it comes to what should and shouldn't be a button and their UI and its options are the best I've ever seen. Use a touchscreen where it makes sense and is _better_ than having a button. Use buttons for everything else.

So you would recklessly endanger the lives all users of your products just to stop them from venting off steam on a forum?

I guess it's good you are not Audi then.

That would only make a different problem of having a only a touch screen and no physical buttons, which most people hate. Turns out knobs and buttons are really good UI for most functions. I don't ever want a car that doesn't have a volume knob, preferably one that doubles as the on/off for the audio.
