They require, for the most part, taking my eyes off the road even if only for a few seconds. A lot can happen in a few seconds at 70 mph.

The audio system in my Nissan Sentra is a touch screen, but some of the controls like volume and changing station presets are duplicated on the steering wheel and there is a volume knob near the touchscreen itself. Showing what station you are on is also shown on the instrument cluster between the tachometer and speedometer.
