They're beautifully bound.

We have to do what he says.

I'm like, no, Ferrari, you don't.

The other thing, by the way, the toggle switches, which is a great idea, but they didn't go full physical because they're basically like, it's like those dials that turn forever, you know, as opposed to a dial that has stops on it.

These are toggle switches where you can press up and press down, but essentially like a D pad where you're going up, up, down, down.

There's no,

There's no physical persistence of the switches, which is not great because, for example, every time I do this now, I think of this because of all the rants I've had in this program.

When I'm driving around in the winter, a couple of my cars have seat heaters in them, and I can turn the seat heaters on, turn them on high, low, or off for me and the passenger, and I can also tell whether they're currently high, low, or off for me and the passenger without looking at them at all because they are physical, stateful switches that rock everything.

I know where they are, they never move, and I can tell what position they're in by feeling them through my winter gloves, feeling what position they're already in, without ever putting my eyes anywhere.

You cannot do that with any of these controls.

That's one thing, because they're just D-pad type things.

And the second thing is, they're machined aluminum things poking out of the dashboard of a car.

I know they have the little things to prevent you from accidentally hitting them, like the little loops of metal, kind of like roll bars, to prevent someone's knee from accidentally hitting the seat temperature up thing or whatever in the back seats and stuff like that.

But you could still accidentally hit them with your knee, first of all.

There's kind of a reason why they don't have those toggle switches.

And second of all,

God forbid, in any kind of accident or something, now you have these little metal baggers in the dashboard.

Now you should be belted in airbags and yada yada and a little crash tested.

And I understand, but like there's kind of a reason why car interiors aren't festooned with stiff pieces of metal sticking out of the dashboard, Johnny.

And maybe think more about that before you design your next car interior.
