NEWS | Mercedes CEO says automakers went 'too far' with touchscreens:
Mercedes CEO Ola Källenius admitted the industry, including Mercedes itself, pushed too hard on touchscreens at the expense of usability.
So the brand is bringing physical controls back, starting with a volume knob on the new CLA's steering wheel.
"Sometimes you get a bit ahead of yourself and do technology for the sake of technology and maybe forget a little bit about the customer," said Källenius.
A survey of 1,428 drivers found 89% prefer physical buttons and Mercedes isn't the only automaker now course-correcting.
Big picture: Successful vehicle technology is about balancing innovation with usability, a combination that can help dealers close more sales.
