@nathans Ford figured it out in the 1980's: Controls on the console should be identifiable by touch, so that they can be operated, without taking the driver's eyes off the road.

It's so basic that I can scarsely believe how quickly that principle is being abandoned in favor of touch screens that you absolutely cannot operate without taking your eyes off the road.

@TranshumanBlues @nathans but please think about the poor companies and about how much money they can save 🙃🫠

@vascorsd @nathans Add it to the list of reasons that I'm probably sticking to cars made pre-2015 (and probably earlier than that), until I can get myself into a situation where I just don't have regular need of a motor vehicle.

@TranshumanBlues @nathans I got one recently from 2008. No newer bullshit as it should be. I expect to keep doing the same if I need another again. I'd just wish it had proper AC, that's all the new tech I wish I had on a car.
