There are numerous times you would need to put your turn signal on when the steering wheel isn’t perfectly straight
No one is talking about “when the steering wheel isn’t perfectly straight”. Come back when you want to have an honest conversation.

How awful it is to have a secure account
I don’t get caught up in titles. Businesses do.
certification options that have some value in the job market.
How much does an experienced sysadmin make?
My research leads me to believe it’s quite low.
No one thinks it will.
Do you stick your hands to the steering wheel with Krazy glue?
…huh?
You can’t be serious if you think people don’t take sharp turns from time to time and have to indicate.
You are bad at reading. Try again.
Unless I’m making a very sharp turn (in which case my turn signal should already be on), yes, of course it does.
my point was that has to be thought out ahead
Of course it does. The entire vehicle does. They don’t just not make the entire vehicle because they have to think about it. They think very hard about these things.
and cannot be modified afterwards in the same way touch screens can
There’s no reason you should have to modify anything. It doesn’t matter how you modify touchscreen controls, they will always be inferior to physical buttons and dials.
BoM complexity and cross commonality is a challenge in manufacturing.
So make them all use the same controls? You don’t need different climate controls or shifter controls or wiper controls for different vehicles. Many OEMs have standard controls across their entire lineup already.
Again, it depends on the angle of the steering wheel.
Again, no it doesn’t. The button should always be in the exact same position, relative to your thumb.
The buttons may be upside down if the car is turning sharply enough.
If you’re turning that sharply, you’re not going to need turn signals.
Apple will never do this because it will cannibalize sales.
Ive seen people walk around with an Apple Watch, a MacBook, an iPhone and an iPad, all at the same time. That’s like $4k in lost revenue for Apple if they could replace all of them with an iPhone.
If you are going hand-over-hand in a roundabout, you’re doing something very wrong…
I imagine there are lots of reasons.
With a traditional control, it is always in the same place in relation to your body
As is the one on the wheel. Right next to your thumb.
imagining driving through a roundabout that curves left and having to find a button somewhere on the steering wheel
Your don’t have to “find” anything, it’s right next to your thumb
If you are going hand-over-hand in a roundabout, you’re doing something very wrong…
If your input/control has a physical button, that immediately needs independent wiring
No it doesn’t. It just needs a PCB and a microcontroller connected to a CANbus. And that’s what we’ve had for decades.
another BoM item to build the car
I don’t really understand this either. Like yes, it is, but if we’re taking that approach, why not remove the door panels? And the trunk liner? And that pesky center console? Oh what’s that, these are all valuable features of the car?
The funny thing is that they put it on the S/X without changing absolutely anything else, then brought out the Cybertruck with steer-by-wire (where a yoke might actually make sense) and put a squircle on it.
They need AI to detect the AI images
I actually saw someone on FB complaining that they were being forced to enable 2FA on FB.
Me: “Unless I’m making a very sharp turn”
You: “When the steering wheel isn’t perfectly straight”.
There’s nothing honest about that. You’re intentionally misrepresenting my argument.
