It's horrible UX and as a German software engineer I am deeply ashamed of the bad practices in the local car industry.
During university there were always these huge talks about the engineering excellence needed for all the fancy embedded systems, but once you get in touch with these systems it leaves a bad taste.
For example with current Audi, if you put it into reverse, the camera pops up and then picture freezes for ~2 seconds.
In every talk with salesmen from the three large German brands I ask about the software issues, but they don't even notice it.
I really feel a lack of focus on UX.
(You could replace "embedded systems" with "human-computer interaction" - car industry was always the big example but once you get more experienced you see they are all hustling, and badly..)
