Capacitive controls could be the cause of a spate of VW ID.4 crashes
Unlike buttons, capacitive controls require just the slightest touch to activate.

Can confirm that these buttons on the steering wheel of the id4 are really, really dangerous bullshit. I regularly drive those cars as rentals, and I've never (not "rarely" - it's really never) faced a worse decision on buttons in any device I ever handled. Those touchpads are solely the reason I despise all VW-cars - they are complete crap. (I use these cars only for short trips and never activate any system by these buttons after encountering numerous dangerous situations as described in the article.)
I think it's Mercedes that has two mini touchpads on the steering wheel? Horrible.
They have them since a long time, and the touchpads are really nice!
I found them frustrating to use
