Anecdote but I have a 2019 Audi E-tron and the software is insanely bad. They have made some improvements in the app but in the car itself is just an unholy mess. When I first got the car, it would remind me for oil changes and try to route me to gas stations. Simple features like time of use charging is buried 5-6 "clicks" deep in a menu, and must be triggered every time you park.
I'm not sure what sort of structural failures occur for this buggy mess to make it out the door but it has to be very systemic and quite bad for nobody to have raised their hand and say "Guys, this isn't ready for customers."
- aitchnyu 4y agoA decade back, I heard an anecdote about a Palm (90s device with less computing power and pixels than your microwave) engineer whose job was making sure every option was up to 3 stylus taps deep. I'm amazed at present day UIs violating this.
