The Bugatti Chiron has no touchscreen, in fact it made a point to look like it has no screen at all. It is a deliberate choice, they didn't want people to look at the window and see a lifeless black screen, and one that will look outdated a few years from now.

No need to wait for 2030, look at the top end luxury cars, while they don't all have as strong a stance as Bugatti, you will see a lot of physical buttons and not too many screens there. Personally, I have already associated touchscreens with cheapness.




The screen (and its interface elements) are definitely one of the faster aging elements of cars (especially luxury).

For instance the Jaguar XK(R) is a rather good looking car, but the central touchscreen is just horrible.
