You don’t think the cratering sales numbers have anything to do with it?

Very cool knob. I would love to interact with this type of feedback (where it makes sense).

Funnily enough I recall using something less cool looking in a BMW 5 series from almost 20 years ago. The knob would stop rotating at the end of menu lists on screen when you could scroll no further.

It made sense, but I recall it being so novel that I spent more time trying to make it NOT move than actually just using the menu system.

BMW stopped using it for some reason.

I may know the answer to your query. You can thank my boomer dad for this one who sent an “article” about DEI eroding flying safety because airlines hire less competent people to fill positions to meet DEI quotas.

It’s unsubstantiated at best, and the “sources” from said article were themselves literally tweets from anti-DEI people shouting into the void “did some of these incidents happen because of DEI policies?” with no response from airlines.
