WINTER AND GLOVES!

Yes it’s a first world proven that I have to take gloves off to turn on my heated seats but buttons made sure stupid problems like this never happened in the first place

Counterpoint: the touchscreen in my car DOES work with gloves. Of course the knobs do too.

The screen is some different tech and not quite as responsive as an iPhone screen and does not do multitouch, but otherwise works fine.

There are gloves that work with capacitive touchscreens and have existed for 20 years now ever since the iPhone came out.

Touchscreens can also leave fingerprints and those will catch light at any angle and reduce effective contrast
