As autonomous driving becomes more prevalent, touch screens will be more acceptable. Actual knobs and buttons have tactility that are easier for drivers to navigate, while screens require precision that can't mimic that. When you don't have to keep your eyes on the road (AKA the car is mostly driving itself), that difficulty will disappear.
The backlash will affect the industry, but in the coming years, touch screens will return in every autonomous vehicle. If they can be jailbroken, that might end up being a good thing for the consumer in the long tun.

The point of jailbreaking isn't to hand your life to every app that you see: it's to have choice beyond what the companies who installed beyond them.

Indeed. The choice to install malware and spyware, the choice to allow software with vulnerabilities to be hacked, the choice to install third-party apps filled with backdoors.
