the touch screen and ui in the fusion I testdrove was a million times better than the one in my accord so Honda should probably watch out.

I had a rental ford focus and it didn't have a touch screen, but it had some version of the sync thing I guess that was really bad. It had a numpad for entry for some things. a physical numpad.

Endless Mike posted:wow, i've never actually seen what the tesla dash looks like in use because i'm fundamentally opposed to touchscreens in cars, but holy hell is that hideous both in terms of ui and integration into the dashboard. it looks terrible and is entirely unusable without taking your eyes off the road. you can't even adjust the ac or close the sunroof without staring at it for extended periods of time.

even ignoring the usability issues, they have 100% control of the entire stack and they can't manage to design something that matches the look and feel of the vehicle itself

I'm really glad my accord doesn't have the climate controls on the touch screen cause it has an awful touch screen and ui. its great when you press a button on the screen and it does the touch animation and beep but then it doesn't actually do the associated action. its bad.

my favorite part of tesla ui is that three bar looking widget in the climate control area that looks like something you can grab and resize but it's just part of the "chrome"

My 2013 Ford Focus ST has Ford Sync, and it isn't too bad. I can order it around using my voice, and they recently updated it to add "Siri Eyes Free" that lets me invoke Siri by pulling a paddle on the steering wheel. Once Siri is up you can do all kinds of fun stuff. The Navigation isn't that great though. In this day and age, I wonder why cars still include Nav?

the coffee maker at work has a touch screen and it's loving awful i don't understand how it's possible to make an ui as unresponsive as it is when all it does is displays static images. there are no transitions, the buttons do not change state when you touch them still, you have to wait a full second after making your selection before you can press the go button ("black coffee", wait about 1 second for the display to update, "start") maybe it's a repurposed amiga and the ui is jpegs. maybe it mines bitcoins. maybe both.

touch screen on soft drink dispenser is even worse, especially when 'water' is buried under a few layers of menus and not in the one where you expected it to be at least it doesn't really kill you though

pretty sure "get soda out of machine" was like #5-10 on their list of priorities behind stuff like improve customer engagement across coca cola family of brands, show increased product offerings, introduce drmed syrup containers, increased support contract revenue and a host of other goals that said you can make diet vanilla coke, the only good diet beverage ever, using those machines so they're not all bad
