I would like to see an explanation of how a human can have any interaction or choice without some level of cognitive cost.

- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoWell designed button layouts use tactile differences so you can non-visually identify where you are without conducting a sequential search. Button clusters are restricted to groups of three or two with distinctive shapes or raised features that permit rapid acquisition of the intended button. You can't do that with a uniform, flush button strip. That's just designer wannabe BS where form is everything and function is ignored.
- NoPicklez 4y agoI think clearly Hyundai have taken an approach that improves dramatically on the 'buttons hidden behind touchscreens' menus' which has started to plague cars with touch screens. The result is a dashboard that has decent form and decent function as opposed to great form terrible function. They aren't going for impeccable function here. When a company tries to do the right thing and publicly calls out flaws in design iterations that we have disliked, lets not shoot them down for not getting it perfect. To say its "form is everything where function is ignored" is just an overreaction.
