In the end, these engineers' job is make profit for the company. If the customer allows for all this crap, and still buys cars/fridges/tvs with such horrible UX, then it's the way forward.
- schmuckonwheels 10mo ago>If the customer allows for all this crap You imply they ever had a choice. Companies like Tesla and Rivian pioneered the trend of bringing webshit-as-an-instrument cluster to the mainstream. Other car companies saw dollar signs, rode their coattails and immediately copied it. What is a customer supposed to do? Buy a Mitsubishi Mirage? Build their own instrument cluster?
- cornichon622 10mo agoWell personally I bought a used car which got out of the factory in 2010 and has a gauge cluster which isn't a screen. I see no reason to buy new instead of used, and I see no reason why I would change my car to a newer one anytime soon. I agree that automotive engineers do not work for the end customer leading to shittier cars, but I also think that most people are unable to vote with their wallet (or just don't care).
