They should bring better UX engineers into the boat.

The old M.B os and its touch interface (in combination with the physical touchpad) is a horror even for digital matured persons.

To me it felt like they dont want you to operate the cars system during driving and let everything taking care by the bullshit voice recognition.

Even with (more) UX engineers, it was incredibly difficult to get any development done. When I was in this space, management and contractors were incredibly entrenched playing political games to grow teams even bigger to get more funding. There was nobody with any authority using the thing end-to-end saying “this sucks”.

It has to be like this.

Most of the stuff I try out I often come back to ask myself, did those engineers ever use their developed shit on their own?
