I just don't get how you can fully just balls out agree with this truth be told.
I suppose the thing where the car predicts the direction you need to go is the weird and scary thing, but in typical tesla fashion it’s a setting that you can toggle on and off so if you don’t like how it works you can disable it

I mean have you driven a new Tahoe/suburban? They have buttons for a shifter where some you need to push, some you need to pull. That’s less confusing than swipe the picture of the car forward to go forward, swipe backwards to go reverse? It’s literally that easy. I don’t understand why everybody is crying about this
I’m understanding that this is an override feature but not the way you’d normally shift.....because the car guesses which direction you want to go.

because it's a TOUCHSCREEN.

people lost their minds when honduh ditched a volume knob :rofl: and then they brought it back and it was like they reinvented the wheel.

This is the only part I'm referring to. I could care less about how the decision is turned into motion long as long as the driver is the one making the decision.

That shit suuuuucked in the hrv. You have no reference point when actually driving so you’re looking down at a fucking screen.

The big difference is that a human is making the decision and not a computer using beta algorithms.

maybe i'm just getting old but I prefer physical buttons and levers in cars. I get it though, fully autonomous cars won't need them, but this interim period to control everything from a infotainment system/dashboard iPad (and not just limited to Tesla) is going to be hilarious years down the road when the car's critical functions are held hostage by dead obsolete tech.
