@davidburcham7951 The correlation is having to take your eyes off the road. One or two seconds doesn't seem like much but it really is. Until we have 100% reliable autonomous vehicles your eyes, brain & reaction time are the difference between a wreck & a safe drive. The trouble is most people think they are better drivers then they really are. "I can multi-task!" is an arrogant approach to driving & a sure fire way to become a statistic.

By the comments section here the vast majority of people prefer knobs & buttons for repeated tasks like HVAC controls or the radio. I 100% agree. Common sense time: If it's illegal to text & drive how safe is it to use a touchscreen while driving? In both instances you're taking your eyes off the road for a number of seconds. I believe we will have more accidents due to this as most drivers think they are better drivers then they really are. There is no substitute for having your eyes looking through the windshield. Things happen pretty quickly & that second or two makes all the difference in the world.
