> Once you get out of the category of obviously frequently controlled things (gear selector, climate control, media controls), you really have to start making judgement calls and picking and choosing who you're going to make uncomfortable.

User-assignable buttons might mitigate that. With profiles for individual drivers.

But perhaps those features would confuse some users even more

To me this is always a really interesting line of thinking. We customize the heck out of our phones but the car is off limits!?

I want my doors to lock every night at 10pm in case I forget.

I want to bring up my favorite temperature and fan settings.

I want to lock just some doors.

I want the windows down just the right amount.

When do we get to take advantage that this is all software?
