Good. There is a reason you don't see apple like designed plane cockpit. When safety or productivity matters, you need more feedback, more options accessible and faster. That's also why you don't program on a tablet, even with a bt keyboard. Task switching is way to slow, not enough info directly accessible and multi tasking sucks.
> why you don't program on a tablet I dare you to go tell that to /r/apple :)
Yes thank you. I’ve been saying this for a long time My VW has an amazing UI where the centre console is a small touch screen but it has a bunch of tactile buttons around the edge that also interact with the console. So the only time you need to use the actual console as a touch screen is when entering precise details like an address into the sat nav or phone number to ring. Which, in both scenarios, I am more than h…

I have a Mazda 3 (2016). There is a touch screen but the touch mode is active only when the car is not mooving.

[1] I'm a private pilot so I'm pretty familiar with the state of the art in aircraft avionics, but I don't fly a 737.

Yes, same for my 2018 model. They turned it off with the new 2019 model.
Unintended side effect could be drivers using their connected smartphone which is far more dangerous. This is already the case with Mazda's touch-disabled-while-driving screens. Not sure at all about the net effect on safety.
