There’s no way anyone will press it by accident!

    A general “fuck you and the horse you rode in on” goes out to all car designers, who hide buttons beneath the wheel at all.

    My car has a heated steering wheel, but the button is between the wheel and the door, in the second row on the left. Guess what I can’t see when I’m driving. Lane assist? Same. And it’s not like missing the button is inconsequential either, one button on that row is opening the charging port. Probably wouldn’t open while doing 90km/h, but I’d not finding out in the first place.

    Meanwhile the center console has multiple blank place holders where physical buttons could be installed, and my car has all the options is fully optioned. Just move the buttons, that you could want to use while driving, so they are actually visible.

      I hate this trend so much. Even modern “luxury” vehicles have these blank spaces like they are some economy car from the 90s. God forbid they’d have to spend a few bucks extra for panels that match the actual options.
