I like retractable door handles. But I think a cutout underneath (maybe spring loaded) might be a good compromise.

also, I WANT A PRNDL (drive select stalk). Even though they overloaded it with autopilot, I think the older model 3/y version was great. Removing it was dumb.

An super-easy-to-locate hazard light button (required by law) would be nice. Not out-of-the-way.

Why can't they just ask the us faa or us military - they have a century of experience with critical control design and placement that don't kill people.

Car manufacturers do too.

As TFA indicates, clearly a lot of experience on how to make a car reliable and easy to use has been lost, one way or another.

How about some common sense?

but not ∀ cars or ∀ manufacturers and not ∀ cars of any manufacturer

All major car manufacturers do indeed have experience or access to experience in critical control design. The problem isn't in their abilities but in their choices.
