On our golf you just sweep your hand past the door handle and it locks. No need to touch the handle and works first time 90% of the time. I love keyless entry wouldn't dream of disabling it.

Have car play so just have to say hey Siri and it wakes up Siri.

BMW idrive - when looking for someone in your phone book - you can write the first letter with your finger on the top of the idrive dial
Also - adjusting the bass / treble etc
You can just slide your finger left to right on the dial
