The driver is speeding at say 130kmh then starts to scribble something on the display with the stylus. Because of that he needs to watch the road and the display while controlling his inept hand to the correct alphabet curves. Then all of a sudden to avoid the obstacle on the road he breaks....hard and his hand holding the stylus up against the display punches through it! Enuff said. Picture this in your mind.

1) the writing pad is on the door frame area, where the power window buttons usually is.

2) the writing pad is on the steering wheel, so you write with your thumb.

3) utilising a laser keyboard, the device projects a laser guided image of a keyboard onto any flat surface withnin the car, and type away.

personally, i am fine with touch screen since that for me is the most versatile and fastest way of input.

Imagine writing Chinese characters, or Arabic, or Tamil, or Japanese??? Hmmm.. challenge!!!

You don't need to get star for your handwriting for the software to recognize it, do you? Big letter, letter by letter, I think should be fine even if you writing with your other hand.
