You know how pilots reach up to flick a few buttons stored above the window when starting up the plane? Which is repeated in a bunch of sci-fi like firefly/the expanse and also sometimes in fancy future cars?

I bet Elon thinks that looks really cool and thus is the ideal UX for any vehicle.

Which is weird because the design is specifically so that most of the overhead never needs to be touched during the actual flight, since reaching above you is more cumbersome and distracting than reaching down or in front of you. That’s why it’s mostly just for setting up electrical, hydraulics, lights, and air distribution. Mostly stuff you don’t need to adjust a lot once it’s set, and this gets it out of the way of the more frequently used buttons and knobs.

Yeah you're putting more thought into UX than Elon.

A great way to understand what drives his poor UX decisions is he assumes that technology depicted in fiction is fully realised. So in firefly they have Wash reaching up and flipping switches or looking off to some screen pushing buttons in an action sequence because having him move and interact with the set makes the scene more exciting. In reality you would never design vehicle controls like that for the exact reasons you say.

Its like if that scene from NCIS where two computer techs share a keyboard was sent back in time to the people designing the first computers and they were like "okay I guess we need to make it so two people can interface with a computer using the same keyboard at the same time" and spent ages making systems that require it because this apparent vision of the future demonstrated people using it this way.

Musk Fanboys Melt Down After Ralph Nader-Founded Car Safety Group Trashes Cybertruck


https://twitter.com/Ctr4AutoSafety/status/1732787648278700328

Oh no! Let's see. What do we got?

Rolling Stone posted:

While the post didn’t specify why the truck could pose a particular hazard, other car safety experts have said that its stiff, stainless-steel panels could contribute to additional damage in collisions with pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. (At the Cybertruck delivery event last month, Musk told prospective owners, “If you have an argument with another car, you will win.”) The truck is currently not available in the European Union due in part to regulatory issues, and a Tesla vice president has confirmed it’s unlikely to ever be sold in that market.


Well that's not good! How did others respond?

I guarantee it's because Musk watched Knight Rider as a kid.

Actually, probably the entire reason Musk bought his way into Tesla was because he watched Knight Rider as a kid.

WaPo has an article today on the various dangers of Tesla Autopilot. Mostly stuff we already knew, but it does note that Ford and GM use much more detailed maps to geofence where self driving can be used. Tesla has resisted any kind of restrictions and uses poorer quality maps.

Also this:

quote:


Over the years, NTSB has repeatedly called on NHTSA to rein in Autopilot. It also has urged the company to act, but Homendy said Tesla has been uniquely difficult to deal with when it comes to safety recommendations.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk once hung up on former NTSB chair Robert Sumwalt, said the former chief, who retired from the agency in 2021 when Homendy took over.
