I know people like to harp on Tesla about this, but ALL of the mandatory controls can be done with stalks/buttons/wheels and have been for awhile

Hazard warning lights - button
Indicators - stalks or buttons
Windscreen wipers - button to initiate, wheel to choose intensity
SOS calls - N/A
Horn - Press the wheel
The only one that Tesla didn't always follow was the wipers, but that's no longer the case.
Is there actually any OEM that doesn't meet these requirements?

Those are always button on all cars tho it's more about secondary operations like tuning AC etc.

It might be a push button, but it's literally in the worst location I've ever seen it in a car.

The law is about the buttons I listed. Those were in the article.

You're point? It's a button, it passes the law.

You’re right, the legislation also needs to mandate a reasonable location for information display. Around me teslas just CONSTANTLY have a blinker on because the stalk has no feedback and the indicator lights are only visible if you’re looking far enough down to lick your own junk.

Not sure why that is, but they do make a noise when they're like all cars.
