But screens are cheaper and cars are getting more expensive.

No problem, they'll manage to make them more expensive with buttons as well. I'm trusting the beancounters on that one.

Joystick interface... Use directional buttons on steering wheel to steer the cursor on a windows-like point and click interface from around 1999/2000

Yeah, by going 20 on a highway because it misread a 120 sign

2015 Honda - perfect. Buttons when I wanted buttons. Touch when I wanted touch, and I never had to use it when driving.
2023 Ford - Yeah, it's bad and dangerous.

Why steering wheel? Use direction arrows (which sonstantly change position) on a touch screen conveniently mounted low on the centre console to steer the car. Imagine the leg space you can create by removing that bulky steering wheel and downsizing the dashboard.
/s before some car designer gets any idea

Nope. Terrible.

I mean, I get where you're going with this, but as much as we'd like adequate public transit in the US, it's simply not going to happen fast enough for people to not buy cars any more. Prices will keep going up as long as people keep buying, and I don't see that stopping any time soon.

Bendable screens that can add a tactile bump underneath a virtual button and that use force touch to detect a press.

That's almost as bad. You might be able to remember three to the right and one down then ok but really you are going to take your eyes off the road more than if it was a touch screen.
Cars need physical buttons for all critical features. You push a button and thing happens. No menus.

Ah, yes! The Thinkpad clitoris and Windows 98 was peak UX!

I feel like I might be too cynical in this, but demand is a strange thing, especially in a heavily corporatized country like the States. A less mobile workforce due to more and more folks not being able to afford individual transportation anymore will at some point result in more lobbying from businesses for alternative transport solutions.
But you're right, that might just be wishful trickle-down thinking and from my understanding the States' problem lies more with inherently car-centry city planning anyway and not with just a lack of busses or trains. That is hard to fix. -

That is hard to fix.Yeah we're built entirely around personal transport. Granted public transit in the form of buses should function inside of that, but I think we're SoL when it comes to good rail options. I looked it up once assuming it would be way cheaper to travel by train, and found plane tickets that were not only like 6 days faster, but 1/3 the price.

But now cars won't look like what Blade Runner drove! /s
