The funny thing is, anyone who read Don Norman [1] could have told you this after 2 seconds' thought a decade ago.
Why then, do multibillion dollar companies continue to produce such boneheaded designs in 2019?

- Baeocystin 7y agoIt is even more baffling when we consider that his discussion of speed-adjusting cruise control (and how it works just well enough to lull drivers into a false sense of security, then bam sudden acceleration on the off-ramp, etc) came from his consulting with the car companies about this problem in the first place.
- ako 7y agoThey probably produce these designs because they sell better. I explicitly ordered a full screen dashboard on my skoda kodiaq (similar to vw/audio digital dash) because I like it better that analog dials. Companies produce things that sell, so probably better to ask why consumers buy these things...
