You’ve got to love the idea of having a touchpad control menu in your car, and with the Audi MMI Touch Input, the whole idea suddenly becomes a lot safer, too.

See, with a lot of these menu screen systems, that control a whole lot of the car’s optional systems, you have to input your commands via a rotary dial or a touchpad or the like, and that can take your attention off the road.

But where the Audi MMI Touch Input is so different is that it allows for what’s called blind typing.  Blind typing is a practice by which you draw letters on a touchpad without looking, one at a time.  By allowing this option, the Audi MMI Touch Input allows for incredible control while still engaging in safe driving.  Let’s be honest–most of us have driven one handed at one time or another and, for the most part (despite what your driver’s ed instructor would tell you about ten and two) we’ve all come out of it without incident.

So kudos to Audi for giving up a control system that’s also plenty safe.
