I'm aware of the ambiguity behind "minimalism". My point is that they likely didn't think on usage ("less clutter that requires your eyes to be off the road"), and instead were following the trend of minimalism being interpreted as removal for the sake of removal - that you see in other industries too.

They had no real consideration of minimalism. They had a big touch screen and didn't want to spend money on buttons. Minimalism was the justification as a matter of marketing.
