I know, and it is a mystery to me why he reused this quote to address that UI video. My best guess so far is he just responded quickly without giving it much thought. I'm still trying to figure that one out.
Or he's really focused on FSD at the moment, so when the topic of "need better UI for human input" came up, his mind associated the two and he burted a response.
This is probably the best answer. He might not have even watched the video.
However, his answer tracks with the push to automate all the things in the video (climate, defrost, and anything else).
For us, ALL the auto anything is exactly broken. Nothing works AT ALL when set to Auto. Lights, climate, wipers, lane keeping, I even had to turn off emergency lane assist and lane warnings driving I90 from Seattle to Spokane 4 days ago: snow, rain, packed ice on the road rendered everything useless, and twice the E lane assist tried to drive me off the actual lane into snow berms.
New philosophy: Almost all human input is in response to system settings that are wrong right now (seat too hot/cold, cabin too hot/cold, wipers on too high/low/off, navigating to wrong supercharger (predicted SOC too high/low).
There is no time I want to change something except when the system is wrong. Give me easy access to anything that could be wrong.
Dead Horse=beat, I know, but this is an intensely strange situation.
