[@zelkuta]

What's really frustrating is that this is a lesson air plane designers have learned the hardway the importance of physical buttons. Even today airlines keep a pretty traditional layout in the cockpit and important functions are all on physical buttons because the airplane designers know the importance of physical feedback. Navigation functions are done on a touch capable screen, but even that screen has physical buttons for important functions. For instance in a modern airbus the airplane uses fly-by-wire technology to control the plane but the designers know the importance of feedback and have designed the flight sticks to give feedback to the pilot and weight that reflects what the plane is doing. If manus want our car to feel like the cockpit of an airplane they they can at least follow the most basic principles of actual cockpit design. Physical buttons and feedback are super important!

"I know I'm over romanticizing the past a little bit" No. You're really not. Simplicity is beauty. The analogue tech of cars in the past were more convenient, more reliable, and more beautiful. "Reinventing the wheel" is the perfect way to put it. Like that $4000 airless basketball.

[@ohno5559]

It's because interfaces that correspond more directly to the things they control are more intuitive, and analog interfaces are kind of forced to correspond more closely to the things they control.

[@carsoncas5355]

I will say that some digital stuff in vehicles today is a godsend such as having a digital speedometer in my 1st Gen Mini Cooper as to look on the speed for the I just look in between my steering wheel and just see the speed and know it instantly. This is opposed to me having to look to my right and take longer to figure out my actual speed due to not being digital and being in the middle of the car. Yeah some digital stuff is amazing and putting the speedometer in the middle of the car is a weird move from Mini.

[@ohno5559]

@@carsoncas5355 I mean, plenty of analog speedometers are positioned in the middle, that's just a design choice it's not specifically enabled by being digital. Also an analog speedometer shows speed as a point on a continuum rather than just a number, which some people including me find more convenient, since that's what it is. That's more of a matter of personal preference though, I could totally see preferring a digital speedometer. The place where digital tends to go wrong is more in user input than in just displaying information.

On the subject of the whole children getting run over thing, we've also fought fire with fire in that regard by basically banning kids from walking anywhere. Our local school district actually requires a parent to either sign their child up for a bus route or drive them to school. There is literally no option to have your kid walk even if you live just across the street. It's madness.

[@LookingGlass1865]

It's like people don't want to actually solve the problem, so they just create rules and barriers to separate themselves from the problem. It's idiotic. It's literally the same thing with gun laws. Instead of making more strict gun policy to prevent school shootings, school safety rules/drills are made much more strict. School safety is great, but they're giving too much focus on that instead of literally the primary source of the issue--guns and shooters 🙄

[@ayeyobossman6151]

how can they stop your kid from walking to school?

[@ProbablyNotARobot]

They don't actually expect parents to follow those rules, they're just covering their ass legally in case a kid gets run over, they can just blame the parent for disobeying school regulations. Situations like this are ubiquitous like for example an airline manufacturer requiring their employees to perform rigorous safety checks that they can't possibly do in the time allotted. They can just blame the employee if there's ever a problem.

My uncle and I live and work together, and we carpool in his car b/c it has way better mileage than my SUV. My SUV is pretty basic without many features (and I like it that way), so when I drove his car for the first time, i found out about his auto brakes. This driver ahead of me was turning right into a parking lot. I had more than enough space to where I only needed to let off the accelerator and wouldn’t need to brake before they completed their turn. Well as it turns out, if you don’t give them at least a 100 yard buffer zone to complete their turn, the car slams on the brakes really damn hard until they are fully out of the way. Incredibly terrifying when it’s rush hour traffic, and the nearest car behind you may or may not notice in time

[@firesoldier343]

Also its not all that bullet proof, sure it can stop weaker rounds but more powerful ones, you can still get off the shelf, can go through it just fine. So you are getting protection that traps you in your car when you need to get out and also doesn't actually protect you from bullets.

Stick shift, cable throttle, cable A/C controls, roll up windows. It just works, and it does exactly what you tell it to exactly when you tell it to.

America is awful when it comes to transportation. They purposefully made the country more and more car-oriented because of CAPITALISM. So rich people can get even richer. And Americans drive like they're going to kill you - people are allowed to have Cybertrucks for gods sake (they are illegal nearly everywhere else). Cars already kill people, I don't know why people are so keen on making them even more dangerous. Public transportation is just objectively better; better for the environment, less expensive, and you don't have to know how to drive it! And a country as wealthy and powerful as the U.S. should (and could EASILY) have that infrastructure. Just look at the rest of the world (Europe and East Asia in particular). They care more about actual convenience, efficiency and evolution of technology than just money, big corporations, and seemingly luxury status symbols like having a huge nonfunctional iPad in your car. People like you make the world a better and safer place. Good luck soldier.

Cybertruck: autopilot, indestructible, futuristic, bulletproof. Other trucks: works.

[@Slayyyter_bitxh]

Fun fact the cyberf*ck doesn't have autopilot or "fsd" and it's a 100k car...

[@somkeshav4143]

It’s actually not bulletproof which is really funny

@@Slayyyter_bitxh Bruh it doesn't even have that paint film to help reduce/remove rusting lol and then when they were called out for it, they decided to "sell it as a feature" for another $5000. Tesla is horrible.

[@Slayyyter_bitxh]

@blindfire3167 Also, the body frame collects water, leading to wiring shorting out. Like the sheer amount of negligence used to build the monstrosity is hilarious

The Cybertruck is a truck for people who say they like trucks, but don't use it for actual labor or off roading.

36 seconds into the video and I’m already dying at the thought of Drew taking off the “max” part of the logo and having a car that just said “car”. This is peak comedy and nobody can tell me otherwise

I'll raise you one better: my brother has a Passat but he removed a few letters so now it just says ASS. Cracks me up every time I see it in the driveway.

THE HEADLIGHTS THING IS DRIVING ME CRAZY i look in my rearview mirror and get flashbanged its horrible

[@meowJACK]

I semi-recently found out my 09 impala has a little switch underneath the rearview mirror that, when you flip it, makes the mirror go super dark and I no longer get blinded by all the people with insanely bright lights when I'm driving home at midnight 😎

[@tianag8513]

​@meowJACK ive never been in a vehicle that didnt have the little switch on the rearview mirror

[@callanc3925]

@@tianag8513 Neither, but in fairness i actually didnt know it existed until my dad recently showed me. Until then i was just manually moving the mirror up when i was getting blinded

[@chasebailey3721]

@@tianag8513 My 2015 Nissan Pathfinder doesn't have that switch. It's supposed to dim automatically but it's not enough to block out bright headlights.

[@DirtyShizno]

I'm just trying to get home and I can't if I'm blind!

Tactile feedback has been one of the best innovation areas in modern gaming hardware... Its kinda funny that a gamer playing GTAV has more tactile feedback than an actual person driving an actual car.
