Devices with touchscreens
Except in cars, for some reason
Physical buttons are a must in vehicles for me. I want to be able to operate things with muscle memory so I don't have to avert my eyes from the road.
Cars are just brutal on electronics hardware, from vibration to heat and cold changes, to sudden bumps and direct sunlight.
That said, they could definitely improve the software that it uses to avoid it responding slowly by not including things like unnecessary transitions or trying to have it do everything and a ham sandwich. Most of the problems with the software remind me of shitty printer drivers with extraneous bloat and lack of optimization.
Car interface design seems like its gone backwards. I'd much prefer a tactile button I can feel and push without looking than having to mess with a touch screen.
Some cars still focus on that thankfully
While the cars are expensive, Lucid says they're trying to differentiate by focusing on tactile over touch
The fucking low fps on navigation maps, the laggy response on touch input, goddamn
The worst thing is even in more expensive cars, like a BMW the interfaces or touch screens feel like operating a touch face from the early 2000. The turning button navigator in BMW felt like a joke to me first time I drove one. Would rather avoid such displays and connect my phone for navigation than use this
