What might actually be useful is instead of a "recently used", you've got a "used in similar circumstances" or "popular with other drivers RIGHT NOW". So if everybody is suddenly turning on their fog lights, maybe you should too.

- mcv 5y agoThat's exactly the point: you want the button you need to be there. Rarely used buttons may be hard to find and yet very important in specific situations. If car companies really want to use some form of AI in the UI, that's going to be bad in almost all cases, except if they use it to help you find that important but rarely used buttons in those rare situations where you need it. Of course it should also still be immediately accessible in its normal spot.
