I could accept that to never repeat the "mistake" as an apology from VW.
But what about those who were supportive of it? We could go back to HN / Twitter history and read more than half of comments at the time thinks physical buttons are old and dump, Tesla has the future done right. That was in the mid 2010s.
Every single time those loud and hype constantly and consistently have it wrong. And every single time, like a PR machine they would go and hype the next wrong thing. But no one would hold them accountable. And the cycle repeats.
Because of that we have suffer from absolute crap over the past 10 years from Car manufacturers. We are lucky a few Japanese Cars manufacture hasn't caught the hype and stood ground. Thank You Mazda.
- darthrupert 2y agoIf what you are saying wpuld be true, Tesla drivers who also have another car wouldn't have 50% lower chance of getting into an accident in their Teslas. https://electrek.co/2022/05/27/tesla-owners-less-likely-crash-than-their-other-cars/ https://electrek.co/2022/05/27/tesla-owners-less-likely-cras... So we can conclude you are saying is not true at least as absolutely as you claim. Touch screen interfaces are not fundamentally less safe.
- TylerE 2y agoBecause of course there aren't any other features of a Tesla that could possibly effect the accident rate.
- darthrupert 2y agoThis supports my point: even if the interface would be unsafe (which there is no reason to believe), the effect would be negligible.
