Chao, the billionaire former CEO of dry bulk shipping giant Foremost Group, tragically died at the age of 50 on Feb. 10 after accidentally backing her car into the pond making a three-point turn.
If you’re even remotely in control of your senses, there’s not really any chance of getting it wrong. At least not now than with any other control scheme. This sort of thing doesn’t happen to sober people.
Bad UX is bad UX. Regardless of how drunk, high, thick, distracted, restricted, whatever, a person is, any UI that is 1% more awkward, counterintuitive or demanding than is needs to be is that much more awkward, counterintuitive or demanding for everybody that uses it. And when the user is also trying to drive a fucking car that becomes dangerous.
Sober people don’t accidentally back up too far when making a 3 point turn? Your foot has never slipped or pressed the wrong pedal? Youve never turned the wheel too far? Never shifted into the wrong gear? You’re either a perfect specimen or completely full of shit
Mitch McConnell’s billionaire sister-in-law Angela Chao begs to differ.
Ironically, your yourself laid out why you’re wrong. Touchscreens remove one of your senses… Touch. Most people can drive without stop looking at the road with some muscle memory and quick touch feeling. Not do easy on a touch screen which, as Angela Chao will confirm, do not like at all to have water on them when used (ghost touches and such)
If you’re even remotely in control of your senses,
Modern Car UI had evolved to all be the same because in a panic or even causal driving, it’s safer to have manual or automatic shift patterns to all be the same and the clutch/break/gas pedals all in the same order. I won’t touch something with a knob shifter. I shouldn’t have to take my eyes off the road to shift gears or just from forward to reverse.
At least not more than with any other control scheme.
Lol no… I drive a manual transmission. I can tell you with my eyes closed what gear I’m in and I can change it to any other gear without opening my eyes.
Touch screens for controlling important functions of a car are a stupid idea.
Well, I can tell you with my eyes closed whether my car goes forward or backward. Which is all I need to know. There’s really zero potential for confusion here.

I have made all of those mistakes but I was always attentive (and sober) enough to not cause an accident.

* confused manual driver sounds *
Why are you looking at the shifter when using it? Don’t you know it’s shy?
