It sounds like how the pedals react and one-pedal driving are the reasons they suspect? I was expecting touchscreen-only controls to be mentioned, but for all I know new ICE vehicles are like that too.
to my knowledge almost everything is touchscreen-only in Telsas (correct me if I'm wrong please!) but in everything else I've seen there's at least physical buttons still for some things.
Controls on the wheel or yoke include: turn signals, horn, windshield wipers, high beams, cruise/autopilot/FSD, voice command, and two 5-way scroll wheel things which are somewhat programmable and enable additional options when another button is pressed. By default I think they control audio, cruise speed, and following distance.
Older models have some of the above on stalks.
Beyond the wheel you've got window controls, gear selector, map lights, buttons and levers to open the doors, a gas and brake pedal, I think that's it
That said, you mostly tell the car what to do with voice commands. "Defrost the windows" or "open the glove box" or "drive to Costco" etc.
people are on their phones driving in every kind of car. Not sure if its relevant that its a touchscreen, even though I prefer older fashioned buttons.

Edit: Hazard lights too

I’d expect them to be on versus more trained than the general population. Cars are their work tools, they spend a lot of time in there.
