Unfortunately, its not the same as regulations. It will just impact test scores, but car makers will still be able to legally remove physical buttons.

Of course, they are incentivized to follow the NCAP recommendations if they want to boast about being a top safety pick.

Welp, crash testers have gone woke. They won't even make the crash test dummies white, folks. You hate to see it. And we love our great crash test dummies, don't we? Sad.

He really has been mask off for a while now. Like not even slightly subtle, as much as he thinks he is being. With how much the media has turned on him lately this is something that's going to come back to bite him at some stage. I would be very surprised if there wasn't quite a few journalists from around the world who have a big folder of musk white national tweets greatest hits stored and wanting to be brought up at some time.

They got them to make cars that beep when you go over the posted speed limit so hopefully that'll be enough of a hint to keep stalks and buttons.

It cracks me up that there is an entire industry supporting better ergonomic controls for rapidly shifting manual gears (namely racing equipment) because shifting is something you have to do constantly and you want to be able to do it with intricate tactile feedback and muscle memory, so you can do it with an absolute minimum of visual attention and workload

And here comes Tesla and the touchscreen car market trying to achieve the exact opposite goal, making shifting gears or transmission mode as attention-hungry and finicky a process as possible

Even as mask off as he's been, it's still honestly a little jarring to me with just how stupid he is about this sometimes while acting like he's the biggest genius. Like, he's literally that meme where if it's not a straight white guy, then it's "political."

The problem is with all this is it’s the same playbook that took QAnon to a white house advisory position.

Automatic cars aren't shifting gears every curve of the road so they don't need super tactile feedback controls.

Still should be actual physical controls and not a touch screen though.

EVs don't really need transmissions in the traditional sense. For ICE vehicles, one of the main jobs a transmission does is it lets you stop without having to turn the engine fully off. Having a clutch or torque converter lets you stop the wheels without having to kill the engine by disconnecting the engine from the drive shaft. Same with heavy braking, you can stall a car out if you brake hard enough without something to get between the wheels and the engine.

EVs can just sit there without any need to have something constantly spinning that you have to disconnect or connect to if you want to stop or go. As far as I know they don't even need or really use gear ratios since an electric motor can just spin as needed with all the torque all the time. Unless one of those crazy super cars like a koenigsegg have an electric monster that uses them for something.
