Agreed. I wonder why they didnt immediately think of that (slider for temperature etc). Is it our hubris as armchair UI designers that we miss obvious problems

Agreed. I wonder why they didnt immediately think of that (slider for temperature etc).
Is it our hubris as armchair UI designers that we miss obvious problems? Is it internal politics? Is it bureaucracy? Is it hardware difficulties?
- recursivedoubts 9mo agoi think physical sliders are aesthetically fairly ugly (although two vertical sliders on either side of the control cluster could look good) they also make it difficult to support an "auto" function, because they would need to move automatically to maintain a consistent user experience sliders aren't used very often in cars now so it is probably harder to find well made components for them etc hopefully as the automakers move back to physical inputs they bring back these sorts of controls
- korhojoa 9mo agoI don't see why a slider couldn't work with "Auto". Setting the temperature where one end is minimum, the other is maximum, and between them you have a choice of degrees. Activated vents would probably be better kept as buttons instead of being on a slider, I might want to use the floor vents at the same time as the defroster. Fan speed (imo) should be on a knob, like a volume control. It would be fun to see it move, like a motorized pot on a receiver.
