Nissan's North American Chief Makes the Case for the Physical Button

· 1 min read

Nissan North America's top executive is pushing back on the industry trend toward touchscreen-only dashboards, telling The Drive that stripping away physical controls costs drivers real functionality behind the wheel. It's a notable stance from an executive whose job is deciding what actually lands on the dashboards Nissan builds next. For owners who still want a proper switch or dial within reach, the remark reads as a vote for the analog controls collectors and daily drivers alike have long trusted.

With reporting from The Drive.
