    I mean, technically you’re not supposed to be fiddling with neither radio, AC or other crap on any car, touch or not, when you’re driving. All of that should be set before you start driving anywhere. If you follow the law to the letter, the only thing you should operate while driving, is what can be done from the steering wheel controls and voice control.

    Of course that’s now how most people actually drive their cars…

      I have never in my life heard this before. What if the window fogs up and you have to turn the defrost on?

        You should have anticipated this and directed airflow to the windshield before you start driving.

        I have also never experienced spontaneous fogging of the windshield while I’m driving, and I live in Scandinavian weather which is both humid and cold. It’s always there when I enter the car. The AC dehumidifies the cabin air while driving so it really shouldn’t be fogging the windshield out of the blue while you’re driving.

        But besides that, steering wheel control or voice control cab enable/disable this in many cars these days.
