88h88 posted:Hey let's remove any and all positive feedback from whatever I'm doing in a car so I have more of an excuse when I mow down a row of schoolkids... Chrysler just recalled all of their 2014 and 15 cars that have an electronic shifter installed because people can't figure out if it's in park due to poor feedback. 41 people injured and that is an actual physical shift lever of sorts. Let's just remove the shift lever altogether and hope for the best!

Maybe we can do some kind of voice command. "HAL, put the car in drive, please."

I think  is that doing that pops a giant input blocking "are you sure" dialog that you have to deal with before resuming whatever you were doing. "Sorry officer I plowed through that group of kids because my radio triggered a system shutdown."

Let's be fair. This is a car with an automatic transmission. How often do you actually have to mess with the gearshift in an emergency? It's stupid (which is why this is a concept, not a production car) and it would be frustrating to use, but I don't see how it's especially unsafe.

Realistically speaking, the shifter would probably never get out of park given my experience with capacitive touch buttons

Your dog could also step onto the center console and bump a conventional lever from D to N too though. What I'm saying is don't be one of those horrible people that treats their car like a zoo enclosure.

You're telling me I'll have to take off my gloves in winter to change out of park? (cynic in me says people will take their gloves off just to text and drive anyway...)

Unless your dog has opposable thumbs to press in the button at the same time as moving the lever I feel this is something that's not going to happen any time soon. Also what kind of twat lets their dog roam around freely in the car?

I'm not a particularly big fan of focus testing, but did no one put a regular driver behind the wheel and then ask about their experience with this new system before producing +800,000 vehicles? I'm honestly really confused as to how it got to mass production before anyone noticed that it wasn't very clear if the 3,000 pound vehicle, that they were expecting the average, distracted driver to buy, was in park or drive. And for LEO chat, I'm pretty sure that you can turn your hazards on to acknowledge that you are going to comply with the order to pull over, but still drive to a safer area if you don't feel comfortable with the emergency vehicle/location. Maybe that's just Illinois and not all of the US, but I remember this being a big deal when Ford stopped making Crown Vic Interceptors and police departments started to pull people over in unfamiliar cars. My favorite UC cars so far are this pair of white Dodge Rams loaded to look like work trucks that cruise around in the evenings and pull over assholes in rush hour, and my town's lime green Turbo Fiesta. Seeing that tiny thing fly over the train tracks with the lights and sirens was just hilarious

My car goes from D to N with the push of a finger, no button required and most conventional automatic cars I've driven could do this without applying the brake or the button or any other kind of interlock. Most new cars that still cling to a physical shifter still behave this way (if they're out there by all means speak up) AFAIK, even the ones where the shifter follows a channel and the only interlock switch is the brake pedal.

I can go freely from R to N to D, and back to N, without hitting the button. Also from 1 to 2 to regular Drive. I actually asked about it in the stupid car questions thread recently-ish because I thought my new used car (First gen Focus) might be broken. E: Going into park requires both the shifter button and the brake to be depressed.

Likewise D to R? I'm interested to know if there's actually any systems in place to stop this happening.

AirRaid posted:In the UK you have a right not to stop for an unmarked car flashing blues at you. You can signal that you have seen them, and continue to a public place to stop. You are then allowed to not open the doors/windows until the officer shows you official ID. Wish it was this way in the US, but then again we have unmarked cars with dark tint that resemble the same dark-tint street cars that get pulled over routinely because cops have a hard-on for hassling people. I had a cop pull me over for a dead tail light on my way home about a month ago while he ignored other people around me who were tailgating, obstructing traffic lanes like dumb assholes, and a guy that blatantly ran a red light in the lane next to me. Yep, love those priorities, along with cops getting pissy when someone knows their rights and dares to ask why they were pulled over, or if they're being charged/arrested for any reason. gently caress rear end in a top hat cops like that, my taxes pay your ridiculous, overblown donut-scarfing, coffee addicted lazy rear end salary, maybe you should do your loving jobs instead of only patrolling around holidays when it's convenient for your "non-existent" ticket quotas.

Met a guy who was an rear end in a top hat when I was in high school with him. Turns out he is now an overweight cop for a small suburb in Dallas and he informed me he loves to pull over minorities just to gently caress with them, so this all checks out.
