the worst part of tesla is that you ahve to access a popup menu to change the fan. tesla has horrible design, i almost crashed the drat thing the first time drivin git because of the tiny fingernail-sized buttons and poo poo used for basic functions like turning on the defogger. my friend bought one when they first came out and the giant touchscreen would actually crash and become unusuable and it took like 2 visits for them to fix this. also the door handles broke once too.

Anything beyond 'Pull handle, open door' is, in fact, bad design.

this thread is breaking my heart because teslas, the idea of teslas, seeing them on the streets, and the giant touch screen used to make me happy for the future now i realize i really need to testdrive one because it may not be very intuitively designed... i dont know what to think

Machine control panel in facility A ("green board" scheme): Green light: ON/RUNNING Red light: OFF Machine control panel in facility B ("power industry" scheme): Green light: OFF Red light: ON/RUNNING Also a really bad design to me is a control screen that has temperature measurements for different things in Fahrenheit and Centigrade.

That still kind of sucks, but you're probably better off just taking a cab somewhere instead of paying for parking for a month anyway

My car has Climate Control, but what it should really be is Max Hot or Max Cold. In the fall, say, if I set the temp for 68°F, it will blast out the hottest heat imaginable until it decides the car has reached 68°F. Then it will put out comfortable air unless I put the window down or something that causes it to drop a good bit below 68°F, at which point it bombards you with full hot air again. Meanwhile, I also have an old pickup with the knob that has the usual temperature gradient, blue to red. Just put it in the blue, about halfway to the red, and be comfortable at all times except the coldest winter days and the hottest summer days. johnny sack fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Nov 11, 2015 |

I think instead of touchscreens they should just replace car controls with neat voice commands, what do you guys think

Aralan posted:I think instead of touchscreens they should just replace car controls with neat voice commands, what do you guys think ask bob lutz We then had a lively discussion about Buick. Here, the “experts” had decided that the brand’s focus would cater to the needs of the elderly. Toward this end, a system called “Quiet Servant” was conjured up. To my amazement, I was shown an interior mock-up featuring no instrument panel and no visible controls whatsoever. It was to be the world’s first car operated entirely by voice command. Speed, gas level, and other relevant information were projected on the windshield. “Folks,” I said, “this is nuts!” “No, no!” they insisted. They had shown a video to older people, where the fictitious driver merely said “headlights” or “left turn signal” or “radio” and the car instantly delivered. And, at the end of the video, 75 percent had expressed a strong preference for this miraculous system. But I’d learned to be skeptical of research in which subjects are shown an ideal, simplified version of a new technology where everything just works. Real life never quite lives up to the fantasy. Still, I agreed to drive a prototype. I will never forget that drive through downtown Milford, Michigan, and the engineer sitting next to me probably won’t forget it either. At his urging, I asked for “more cold air.” “No, no!” he said. “You have to scroll verbally! First say ‘climate control.’ When the car says ‘climate control,’ you say ‘blower.’ When the car repeats ‘blower,’ you say ‘up one.’ Same with temperature.” Of course, it wasn’t that easy, and a comedy of errors ensued. I did the best I could, trying to remember the sequence. So fixated did I become with the marvels of voice input technology that I casually cruised through two red lights, nearly causing an accident each time. The new system officially died the next morning. I announced it to the Buick team in person. One earnest young woman almost broke out in tears, seeing the whole purpose of the last two years of her life float away.

tesla isn't unique in having a giant screen instead of tactile buttons you can use without looking at or having silly keys and door handles most fancy cars have something like that, especially if they're german.

Quiet Servant was in a concept car in 2001. Voice recognition is hilariously squirrelly now, I can't even imagine how bad it was to try and accomplish anything in that car
