Wrong.There is a story today in the news that Tesla is going to lose its 5 star safety rating from NCAP as a result of the removal of the stalks. I still can’t get used to the change in my new Highland car but perhaps they will listen now to the European Safety Authorities. It is such a stupid change in my humble opinion.
Buttons are a physical control.
The flawed basis of the report is that TOUCH SCREEN controls are less safe than "physical" controls.
All of the driving control in the Tesla are already physical controls.
