I agree with this, but after a while I realized that it's much better and safer to use Alexa in any case when I want to play/change music. Now I just hit the "Alexa button" on the steering wheel and say "turn on the radio" or whatever - super simple and my eyes never leave the road.
In general, if you're not used to using Alexa in a car (I wasn't), I highly recommend trying to get used to it for various car functions (turning on the radio, changing the temp, etc.) I think you'll find yourself using buttons/touch panel way less.
