兄弟们，好事儿啊，汽车上的物理按键可能真要回来了。 前段时间，在大陆彼岸的欧洲就出现了一波对取消物理按键的反思潮。 比如大众汽车设计总监安德烈亚斯·明特，他直接一个认错 + 反思，表示" 汽车不是手机 "，之前在高尔夫 Mk8 上做的数字化并不先进，" 我们不会再犯这 样的错误 " 。 说白了，就是我们要在未来的新车上把物理按键加回来。 所以你看，最近大众、宝马很多新车都重新加回了物理按键，像这次的 ID.2 all （以后可能叫 Polo ）就在大屏下方加入了音量、风扇、温度、座椅加热和 双闪的按钮。 苦于大屏操作的老司机们，终于可以开香槟咯。 要说这波反思潮的源头，其实可以追溯到去年 3 月，当时 E-NCAP （欧洲新车安全评鉴协会）就声明：从 2026 年起，只有配备物理按键的汽车，才有资 格获得 E-NCAP 的五星认证。 但实际用下来发现，这个设计除了好看，其实没啥实质性的便利。咱们最直觉的操作，还是靠手感，而不是电子屏幕的点击，或者语音。 这里面说了，汽车上的转向灯、喇叭、挡风玻璃雨刷、 SOS 呼叫等等功能，都必须有拨杆或者旋钮的方式来操作。所以现在这些车企也主要是为了拿满 五星顺势而为。 总 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent comments from EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin suggest that the automatic start-stop technology, commonly used in new vehicles, may be reevaluated or potentially phased out due to widespread dissatisfaction among drivers [4][10]. Group 1: Automatic Start-Stop Technology - Automatic start-stop technology has been around since the 1970s but gained popularity in the early 2000s, with about 65% of new cars sold in the U.S. currently equipped with this feature, up from approximately 60% in 2022 [5]. - The technology is designed to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 2.2 grams per mile (about 5.2 liters per kilometer) and improve fuel economy by 4% to 5%, particularly in congested traffic [7]. - Despite its intended benefits, the technology has faced criticism for operational issues, including frequent failures that have led to recalls and investigations, as well as user dissatisfaction due to performance inconsistencies [9][10]. Group 2: Consumer Experience and Safety Concerns - Users often report negative experiences with the automatic start-stop system, including engine vibrations and noise during restarts, and issues with air conditioning performance during frequent engine shutdowns [9]. - The system's sensitivity can lead to safety concerns, such as the engine shutting off before the vehicle has come to a complete stop, which may pose risks during low-speed maneuvers [9]. - The EPA's potential reevaluation of the technology may lead manufacturers to reconsider its value, especially if customer satisfaction becomes a priority over marginal fuel savings [12]. Group 3: Shift in Automotive Design Trends - The article discusses a broader trend in automotive design, highlighting the shift towards touchscreens and hidden door handles, which have received mixed reviews from consumers regarding usability and safety [16][25]. - Touchscreens, while aesthetically pleasing, can distract drivers and complicate vehicle operation, leading to calls for a return to physical controls [16][20]. - Hidden door handles, while improving aerodynamics and design, raise safety concerns in emergency situations, prompting regulatory scrutiny and potential new standards in China [29][30].
