When Popular Mechanics reviewed the 1986 Riviera T Type (an '88 model is shown above) and its touchscreen display, they were impressed with the technology but found that it "violates the First Commandment of ergonomics—you must take your eyes off the road to make any adjustments."

Gee, sound familiar?

One thing I hate about using my phone for music is I have to look at it to change songs. I used to have a dedicated MP3 player with H/W buttons that didn't require that. But that player couldn't stream Pandora or whatever so that's something.
