    I must have made it just under the wire

    My 2018 Honda Civic doesn’t have a touchscreen, all knobs and buttons, and the only safety features are things like airbags/traction control/ABS

      Afaik Honda explicitly sided with the knobs crowd — though apparently after having flirted with the touchscreens, so presumably some of their cars do have them.

        My lexus uses a small screen built into the rearview mirror for the backup cam. Car was designed by people who can do math in their heads.

          Obviously but I find it hard to believe a manufacturer would waste their time with that in 2018, but it does appear to be the case on LX and lower trims. They just get a 5" display.

            It runs a tiny RTOS called eCos. Just does backup cam, AM/FM, Bluetooth, and USB sticks (as long as the media is WAV or MP3)

            My only complaint is that it sorts media files on USB sticks by timestamp rather than alphabetically
