I don't know if iDrive is better than steering wheel controls when it comes to safety, the touch controls is just an added bonus. It is WAY easier to type on a touch screen than with the iDrive. And this also has voice commands.

And I know that BMW offers basically the same functionality as this. But it doesn't work at the moment and most of it is not very user friendly.
