Mazda's CX-5 Goes Touchscreen: Balancing Tech and Safety

Mazda, a long-time holdout against touchscreen infotainment, is finally embracing the technology in its redesigned CX-5. This isn't just a skin-deep change; it's a ground-up redesign powered by Google's built-in technology, integrating Google Maps, the Play Store, and the Google Assistant. However, Mazda remains committed to its 'hands on the wheel, eyes on the road' philosophy. A redesigned steering wheel features physical buttons for critical functions, aiming to balance the convenience of a large touchscreen with driver safety.
