Turn signals, windshield wipers, media controls, cruise control, follow distance...all have physical controls.

Lots of other weird stuff is touch screen only, like re-aiming the A/C vents or taking the headlights off of auto-mode, but the main stuff does.

The stalk wiper control is awkward and has two modes, trigger wipers once, and trigger wipers once with fluid spray. Both modes trigger a modal on the touchscreen that allows speed control for the wipers in the late version of the software. It did not always do this. It was incredibly awkward to control the wipers when the left modal wasn't implemented. I live in a rainy climate and was very unsatisfied with the controls before the improvements.

The yolk design doesn't have stalks. Turn signals, wipers, horn, and lights are capactive touch buttons on the yolk.
