Touch screens are basically buttons. Maybe they just need physical buttons to get to the essential parts on the touch screen. My car the buttons are on a touchbar-like screen already. For people that prefer physical buttons, you should ask for a mounted remote.
Screens are not basically buttons. I cannot reach at the screen without looking and find a toggle and know that I pressed it successfully.
Yes you can, you could have it announce or provide auditory feedback. You could have a mounted remote with physical buttons if that is what you need. Wait until one of your integrated buttons fails and then you find out it will cost $1k to replace it.
go to your home screen, close your eyes, and then open your lemmy app without looking
you can absolutely not get feedback from a touch screen about which control you’re groping around blind for: this leads to people looking at the screen while hunting and pecking for buttons, and that’s incredibly dangerous

Go tell that to a blind person. I'm actually surprised you've never heard about this. They have sensors as well, you could lightly touch & have it tell you which one you are on and then press longer & harder for it to activate. You also get used to their position.
I also suggested a physical button to navigate to a specific section or mounted remotes with physical buttons. The issue with integrated physical buttons, and I have experienced this personally, is extreme cost to replace when they start to fail. Usually around $1k per button to replace.
