File this one under Good Intentions, Still a Dumb Idea: Lincoln’s capacitive-touch sliders for volume control and fan speed on the 2011 Lincoln MKX crossover. By sliding your finger across touch-sensitive strips on the center stack, the driver or passenger can move the audio volume up or down. Same for the fan speed. It’s high-tech and oh-so-cool. However: Capacitive touch is also slower, less intuitive, and nearly unworkable on bumpy roads. Give me a big round volume knob any day.
