they need to be punched in the face!

Designers that change up the UI just to have something to do drive me nuts! And, now it's life threatening because cars now get updates every ~12 months where some designers have decided how to use the car changes. So, things you got used to suddenly change and you have to figure them out WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING!

I hope someone manages to sue over these changes when someone inevitably dies, so they'll be some pressure not to make them.

I still think cars need to be controlled through hardware knobs. At least all the normal car functions.

GPS and AndroidAuto/Apple CarPlay interaction should be the one exception, but even here you need a volume knob at least, so that if the volume is suddenly too high you can react with muscle memory.

Because surprisingly high volume can distract you enough to crash.
