    It’s called user experience. It’s like a whole discipline.

    It’s a car it’s centuries old technology I shouldn’t have to read the manual to know what it’s complaining about. It has a big infotainment screen it could put the error in English on there, but no.

      My ten year old Subaru has a small screen that says what the light is. Unfortunately that doesn’t always help: recently the “spend $1,400” light came on but the screen claimed it was “passenger airbag sensor”
