alt Hacker NewsIs is Mercedes-Benz deciding to bring back buttons, or is it that the EU's NCAP safety rating mandated that they bring back buttons, and they are spinning it as a voluntary decision?

My money is on the latter. I’ll take it, but being bullshitted by these big corporations is the norm.
Auto makers have been aware for years of consumer sentiment around the physical dials is my guess based on the complete consistency I’ve seen.
I'd assume some combo of NCAP and the new Chinese rules, yeah. Though consumer backlash may also be a factor.
