What's really frustrating is that this is a lesson air plane designers have learned the hardway the importance of physical buttons. Even today airlines keep a pretty traditional layout in the cockpit and important functions are all on physical buttons because the airplane designers know the importance of physical feedback. Navigation functions are done on a touch capable screen, but even that screen has physical buttons for important functions. For instance in a modern airbus the airplane uses fly-by-wire technology to control the plane but the designers know the importance of feedback and have designed the flight sticks to give feedback to the pilot and weight that reflects what the plane is doing. If manus want our car to feel like the cockpit of an airplane they they can at least follow the most basic principles of actual cockpit design. Physical buttons and feedback are super important!

This is opposed to me having to look to my right and take longer to figure out my actual speed due to not being digital and being in the middle of the car.

@@carsoncas5355 I mean, plenty of analog speedometers are positioned in the middle, that's just a design choice it's not specifically enabled by being digital. Also an analog speedometer shows speed as a point on a continuum rather than just a number, which some people including me find more convenient, since that's what it is. That's more of a matter of personal preference though, I could totally see preferring a digital speedometer. The place where digital tends to go wrong is more in user input than in just displaying information.

New cars, especially electric ones are much faster than new gasoline or diesel cars. At least many of them. And many times faster than really any older cars except for older supercars. Though new ecars do have some added safety features, which might work most of the time in certain conditions. But the person driving is likely the same or worse driver than before given driving has become so easy and effortless and quiet. And because the driver likely is touching his/her screen or screens while driving. And the person walking on the side of the road is likely the same as before or less aware than before given you now have smartphones and wireless headphones etc. that many use while walking or such. But regardless even of that fact now, he/she cant hear the ecar coming from behind at 80 km/h basically silently either way. So, expect lots more of unnecessary damage and deaths. Im afraid that while cars are now hi tech and really fast and really big, and road use in general by others and other vehicles like example ebikes is different than before, road safety/infrastructure has been left in the 60s or such. And it wont get meaningfully better because it costs too much in so many ways to demolish old and build new infrastructure to make roads safe for everyone. We are stuck with bandage solutions, so do try to stay aware and safe out there.

America is awful when it comes to transportation. They purposefully made the country more and more car-oriented because of CAPITALISM. So rich people can get even richer. And Americans drive like they're going to kill you - people are allowed to have Cybertrucks for gods sake (they are illegal nearly everywhere else). Cars already kill people, I don't know why people are so keen on making them even more dangerous. Public transportation is just objectively better; better for the environment, less expensive, and you don't have to know how to drive it! And a country as wealthy and powerful as the U.S. should (and could EASILY) have that infrastructure. Just look at the rest of the world (Europe and East Asia in particular). They care more about actual convenience, efficiency and evolution of technology than just money, big corporations, and seemingly luxury status symbols like having a huge nonfunctional iPad in your car.

Your gate story is the exact complaint I have about almost every new vehicle I've driven. They try to do the thinking for you. Hit the gas, takes a moment. Want to gun it? Takes a moment. Even the electric steering on new cars is weird and overly sensitive. My daily driver is a first gen Tacoma like the one in your thumbnail. Stick shift, cable throttle, cable A/C controls, roll up windows. It just works, and it does exactly what you tell it to exactly when you tell it to.

I had a dream that Drew made an ad for a like Swiffer wet jet alternative but the gimmick was it had a tiny ass little mop head and to prove how well it mopped he dumped a whole bunch of Coca-Cola and Kool aid on the floor and only could mop up a little bit of it (due to the tiny ass mop head) and then couldn't find the extra larger mop heads so he just did the rest of the ad with a nasty ass little mop head that just smeared Coke and Kool aid all over his floor. How does he come up with this stuff

There is NOTHING I hate more than getting rid of physical buttons for necessary features. AC, volume, and things that you press all the time should be BUTTONS. when you put everything on a touch screen where it’s hard to see with the sun shining on it, it gets hot and processes clicks slowly, and having to fumble all of that while driving is literally the worst thing about new cars.

Ah, i miss the manual buttons. Took me so long just to get used to not having to turn knobs and having to press/hold to change the volume when you could just have a simple turning button. It's just not needed. Some good features, but it can just be a huge distraction. Especially Teslas, before driving it they seem so cool and advanced, but when you have one, it's just eternal pain.

It says a lot about Model 3 owners where half of them are actively hacking the car to add center dashboards, CANbus sniffers for gauges, and adding buttons to control things on the screen.

Touchscreen controls can be great! If: - The buttons are not menus and only do one thing - The screen consistently shows these buttons - anything that changes is on a specified part of the screen - The buttons give audible/haptic feedback when pressed - The buttons are colour-coded to allow for quick recognition I 1000% prefer physical buttons, but if we have to go this way, then it should be this way. What's really funny is that Star trek figured out touchscreen controls that made sense in the 90's and nobody even bothered to hear them out :)

Sometimes I’ll turn on my new car and the touchscreen display comes up with a warning message that I need to keep my eyes on the road at all times. It then forces me to press a button on the display to get rid of it, defeating the entire purpose lol

Must say, Not Just Bikes is MUST channel for anyone interesting in urban mobility

I agree, cars are getting over engineered to the point where its confusing to use them. My little story example: So I only ever drove manual cars with minimal assist systems, basically ABS or TC if it was a bit fancy. For the first time ever I drove an automatic car, a 2019 VW T-Roc. It has all the modern quirks including a hill anti roll assist and a start stop system. So Im getting used to the car stopping its engine and starting up again when I let go off the brake and the hill assist holding me when Im about to accelerate on an incline. I get stuck in a traffic jam on a HEAVY incline and I decide Im getting too hot in my seat, so I decide to take my hoodie off. My car is stopped at the moment, so its not like Im doing anything dangerous. I get my seatbelt off so I can take my hoodie off which works out fine, but just as Im done taking it off, the traffic in front of me starts moving. Sweet, we´re on the move, I think to myself as let go off the brake and step on the gas. Except this time, theres no hill assist to hold the car, and neither does the start stop kick in to start the engine and pull the car forwards. The opposite happens actually, and my car starts rolling down the hill towards the vehicle behind me. Panicked, I step on the brakes and try pressing gas again. And again, nothing happens and I roll further down dangerously close to the vehicle behind me which is honking at me at this point, not helping me recover from my, at this point, very panicked state. After what was probably only a couple of seconds, but felt like a lifetime, I figure out it might be the seatbelt sensor preventing me from starting the engine, so I put my seatbelt on and finally drive off. Folks who are used to automatic cars with all these "safety systems" and stuff will probably laugh at me, but honestly this singular experience made me dislike automatic transmissions and overbearing safety features way more than I ever had before. There is a zero percent chance something like this would happen to you in a manual car (as long as you know how to use it) and just adds a layer of unpredictability to an already fairly dangerous act of driving. It reminds me of the older lady who had stopped her car on the traintracks, opened door briefly and then was stuck on the tracks because her car automatically sets the parking brake on when the doors open and won´t let you go back in Drive until you manually disengage it. Luckily she managed to get out of the car in time, but if that "safety" feature wasnt in the car, she would have just gone through the railroad crossing without any incident.

The whole “big cars are dangerous, so everyone needs a big car to stay safe” is the exact argument people make about guns in this country.

Worst part is that a crash between two large vehicles is less safe for all occupants than a crash between two small vehicles. And that's not even considering the danger to vulnerable road users, like pedestrians and cyclists.

The Cybertruck is a truck for people who say they like trucks, but don't use it for actual labor or off roading.

its even worse than that, in the US pickups and suvs are classified as light trucks which allows them to not have to respect pollution regulations cars do, so these manufacturers are incentivized to make you want to buy a big car/truck

*I think we hit the sweet spot buying a new car in 2016. it has all of the physical buttons while still having an infotainment screen which has a huge turning knob next to the yoke so you can turn and push it while your eyes are still mostly on the road*

There's a sci-fi novel called Et Tu, Babe from the early 90s that has this joke where the main character sees this machoistic commercial for a new car that's so monstrously huge and armored that it promises to not only protect its driver in the event of an accident but also kill the occupant of the other car.

The thing that amazes me is replacing a rear view mirror with a camera and screen in the middle of your windshield. You took the simplest, cheapest, most effective mechanism and made it more expensive and added more points of failure. Bravo.

With certain utility vehicles it's actually a good solution, though it's not really necessary for 95% of consumer cars. What's crazy is that there are cars with a camera connected to the rear view mirror. The cybertruck is unable to get any use out of an actual rearview mirror. The solution they came up with was to install a useless mirror anyway & connect a rear view camera to the dashboard screen.

A rear view camera/backup camera isn't bad as long as you still have an actual mirror as well. My car has both, the mirror for large objects like other cars, and the backup camera for smaller stuff (like kids). THAT'S what the camera should be for, it shouldn't replace the mirror all together though.

I feel crazy when I complain about this and people are like, "Uh, well, uh, that's different, because, uh, it's part of the car! It's no different than turning up a dial on the radio or ac. Plus it's near the front window, so yeah." 🤦‍♀️

Hey Drew, thanks for talking about the brightness of headlights. It has also been on my mind for months, but as with everything as soon as I get back home I would forget to investigate. They're almost like the Men in Black memory wipers. You're doing important work.

Every classroom should be a parking lot and every hall should be a freeway. That's the American way 🇺🇸
