hoping for an over the air update on the left_is_right_blinker package for the infotainment center sirsir

they could've very easily designed it to autocorrect if your direction of travel doesn't match the turn signal
there's cars that'll mechanically drop the blinker activation if you steer into them, it'd be dumb easy to do with drive by wire

having one signal direction be harder to reach and require a different movement from the other is terrible loving design lol,
stalk blinker there's no hand position where you can turn on one direction but not the other, the inputs are equal motions in opposing directions

with a wheel button there's several hand positions where you can only reach one or the other, you can't tell if you mistake an input easily at all because they're both identical and there's no tactile feedback for if it's active or not like there is with a stalk blinker

counterpoint the buttons are probably a couple bucks cheaper than a stalk, and stalks are ftl, so

Top button on the left side = go right. What's hard to understand?

But that’s how it is when you start wanting to have things. Now, I just look at them, and when I go away I carry them in my head. Then my hands are always free, because I don’t have to carry a suitcase.

all user input is error

I really went down the rabbit hole with this stupid thing where the shifters are buttons on the wheel, which is actually a "yoke" that's harder to drive because the form factor prevents you from doing hand over hand turns. The whole purpose of the change was so that it didn't block the screen but I think anyone who follows this stuff knows deep down this came from a ketamine fueled flight simulator session Musk was having. You can buy a replacement wheel for $700 that is actually functional, a giant brain move from Elon to siphon more money from the pay piggies that buy his cars.

This is a general car thing that I still have a hard time wrapping my head around. The idea that a giant touchscreen to replace all media and HVAC controls is cheaper simply because there are less parts.

ease of manufacturing is a factor, too. switches have to be designed and spec'ed and sourced and installed and connected individually versus gluing in an aliexpress tablet and plugging in a usb cable or w/e

it's so dumb lol


with the control on the stalk and control itself being vertical movement, the inputs follow the direction your left hand moves on the wheel when you steer, immediately intuitive, symmetrical control requirements for either direction, no eyes needed, can easily control it without having your hand already on the wheel

wheel button means asymmetrical input requirements and the inputs are both identical lateral presses but one requires shifting your grip and you can also easily hit the other one at the same time, or when retracting your finger

ive never designed a steering wheel and that's like immediately obvious to me just going through the operating motions in my head

elon musk owned and totaled a McLaren F1 but can't understand the basic reasons the essential controls for cars are normally arranged the way they are & thinks they can be harmlessly moved around like desktop icons
and hes right
