Job losses likely at VW as the people’s car brand becomes uncompetitive - Lemmy.World

I know this is more about switching from ICE to electric, but this is kinda hilarious

Feedback about the company’s new capacitive multifunction steering wheel was so overwhelmingly negative that last year, Schaffer promised to ditch the design. Meanwhile, much of the range—both electric and gas-powered—is saddled with temperature and volume controls that are touch-sensitive but not backlit, making them all but impossible to use at night.

Every car I’ve ever bought had had glaringly terrible design choices that make it obvious nobody in development actually drove the car. This has got to be one of the worst examples of that though.
Has this as a rental car a few years ago… guess which knob I kept reaching for to turn down the volume…
The one clearly labeled volume?

Labels are not safe. Drivers need to keep their eyes on the road.

Maybe you are right, but it better not be because of a label

Man, that’s a yikes.

I hate those knobs, but I’m also lucky to just drive a simple standard car right now. It has a touch screen for sat nav (Carplay/Android Auto), but volume and climate controls are all physical.

What does bigger one do?
