Volume is already handled from the steering wheel in all modern cars? Can you even get cars anymore without steering wheel controls for basic things like volume/mute, calls etc.?

As for gear shifter, that's not important, you're not changing gears while moving unless you're driving a manual, in which case it's still a mechanical lever anyways.

    Yeah, I dislike the volume controls on steering wheels. Admittedly, those are mostly buttons, but what you really need is a knob. No one wants to press a button 30 times to raise or lower the volume.

    And, I’d encourage you to read the last bit of my comment about changing drive modes while doing a 3-point turn around strongest reasons for a physical shifter.
