I have a friend who's dad had what, at the time, seemed like the weirdest job. He'd test the physical controls in Toyotas. What "testing" meant was pretty broad. It might mean simple single control bench testing, to environmental testing (ie, mocking up a car interior, then exhaustively flipping switches and turning knobs in various atmospheric conditions, from freezing and dry to hot and humid, and all variations between), to epic road trips cross country, to epic off roading trips. While it's true there are companies that offer "turn-key" components, the integration of all of these still requires a huge amount of testing. I want REAL controls that never move, that can be used without having to take my eyes off the road, and that have tactile feedback when used. It seems clever to just move physical controls to software, like it's some sort of innovation, but for me, as the driver, I'll never buy a car again that does it the way Tesla does it.
