I also hate it. Car makers have collectively lost their mind chasing form over function (safety) the last 15 years.

The ability to reduce ANY control system to a logical schematic, does nothing to make it intuitive and ergonomicaly correct. The other component is that there is NOTHING logical about driving itself, it&#x27;s all physical skill, useing hand&#x2F;foot eye coordination and memory for route planning, while maintainig situational awareness. so there is nothing left to remember the latest logic fuckery, maskerading as a &quot;feature&quot; The neverending re-design of domestic aplliences has emboldened corporations into thinking that they can dig deaper into peoples lives, and somehow capture attention, and therefor greater market share. Wierdly enough, it is the cheapest appliences that are easiest on the head, large white box with two doors, the one on top freezes things, while the larger one below, just gets cold, its got a knobby thing in there, which if you leave it pointing strait up, like it comes from the factory, will work fine. Vs the giant shiny thing that quickly starts yelling at me because I have the temerity to get moe than ONE thing out in a timely fashion and my truck that ,woooooo!!!, are you sure you want to unlock,ALL the doors, woooooo!!, I dont know, it&#x27;s not safe out there so we out the alarm button next to the unlock button that you have to keep pressing, in order to open, the other doors, and lo, hark ye!, the niehbors are also ,continiously, enjoying all the wonders of modern design.
