My assumption is that you will configure default settings for autopilot on the screen. The system maxes out at 5 MPH over the posted speed limit.
You will set that, say you like 5 MPH over.
Then you will set your car length distance between you and the car in front of you.
Pull back on the stalk and the magic happens.
Remember it's auto pilot, not cruise control so you probably won't be monkeying with the settings left and right. Once in autopilot, the left portion of the center screen would present that ability to adjust speed and distance on demand.
So, it appears they've quite literally shoved all the settings that aren't on the stalks on the screen.
Wipers are turned on and adjusted on the screen (swipe on row of icons on the left pane, then tap on the wipers).
Lights (low beams, fog) are turned on on the screen (tap on the car icon, then adjust on the quick settings screen).
It's reasonable to assume TACC related features, once TACC is engaged via the stalk, are also adjusted on screen (speed and distance).
The gadget-freak / IT guy in me kinda admires the way they've pared down the physical controls to the very basics.
Even while the engineer in me screams "this is wrong", LOL

Hey, here is a cool thing I think happens... The turn signal stalk doesn't click down in the up or down position until you turn your steering to make the turn! I'm so happy if this is the case... It is like the BMW system on the i3. The computer just measures steering angle to determine when to stop blinking as opposed to a mechanical thing.

Sidenote... I drove a car once, a Skoda, i think (might have been Seat - something from the VW group in any case), that somehow consistently kept doing the exact wrong thing with the signal (mechanically). It wouldn't "catch" when it was supposed to, and the angle at which it "catches" and then "releases" the turn signal was somehow totally wrong, so it would *always* remain on after taking a 90 degree turn, or wouldn't stay on throughout the turn.

Yes, I saw that too. Commented in a different thread about it though. Just a really skinny bar. We will probably see a different UI by the time the employees provide feedback.
I think the turn signals will be above the speedometer.
