Anytime I need to click on a touch button / non physical button I need to take my eyes off the road so I don’t click on other buttons wrongly… physical buttons in car is the way !
I still misclick. It’s so dangerous.
Back when I was a teen I’d text and drive with T9 on a Nokia without needing to look at anything but the road. Now I have to concerntrate and time bumps to get try turn the demister on.
Physical buttons are just so much safer and easier since you don’t need take focus off driving.
I’ve thought about making an APK I can get going through Android Auto that simply converts my requests via LLM to commands for the car. But I imagine getting the manufacturer’s command lists is near impossible and then there’s all the shit blocking an APK permissions to control car components. It would otherwise be super easy.
You could have an ESP32 connected to your phone. The ESP could control some relays or simply raise/lower pins to connect to whatever this physycal board is connected to. You make your own API from there.
I want jackknife switches for every function, all wired to go chokBZAK and throw sparks at me every time I use my turn signal. Mad science maximalist aesthetics.
jackknife switch
Thanks for the visual. This helps
I’m imagining a dashboard bristling with these, to control everything from door locks to wipers.
Maybe a few big red buttons and flashing toggle buttons too, case depending.
It’d be a horrible experience to drive, which is itself a net benefit.
It takes like 4 switches and a button to get the power into the back to open the trunk, all while you crackle maniacally in the grocery store parking lot. Also it needs to be struck by lightning first.
I feel seen
So, in the future when self driving is a thing, you have most people napping or watching their favorite drama in 2 second clips between 5 second commercials, and then there’s you. Fully entertained you, cackling while randomly flipping hundreds of switches that aren’t quite aligned, each one making a spark on contact and doing something innocuous like changing the color of the interior accent lights.
Probably still be walking places like some kind of asshole
