Whatever your opinion of the business and products, it’s a hard argument to make against their tangible UI.

I'm the outsider, I hate their UIs. Anytime I have to solve any issue on an Apple device, I want to give up.

At least Macs have terminal, but iPads are way out of my comfort zone

I meant like their tactile hardware, specifically. They make things that feel dialed in and designed for intuitive use, aesthetics, and quality feel. Considering car manufacturers have been big fans molded plastic with sharp unbeveled edges for the past 20 years with uncomfortable interiors, I’m curious what they would come up with instead.

I don’t do much under the hood work with my computers though and I’ve heard that they sacrifice a lot of that versatility to make users of all experience levels pretty intuitive, so I can imagine that would be frustrating for someone working on them. So I think I get what you’re saying.

I'm sorry, but nothing with Apple is intuitive to me, and I have no idea how people work with their hardware or software.

Car manufacturers are focusing on keeping the price low, and they used to focus a lot on safety, both inside and outside the car. So let us see where this one goes.

Just so long as Microsoft stays out of the car game I’m happy.
