Making the touch screen bigger doesn't change the fundamental problem that you have to look at it and away from the road to use it. If the road is in your peripheral vision for any length of time while you're moving at high speeds, you are at risk. It may be slightly better because you can look at it for a shorter amount of time, but you shouldn't have to look at all except in your peripheral vision and/or proprioception (physical sense of where your body is).

Agreed, I still think physical knobs and buttons should never be removed. I'm just saying that if there is going to be screen controls the screen needs to be big enough that all controls can be accessed on one screen and not through submenus.
