New-Vehicle Quality Study: Drivers Are Not Happy With Their Cars' Screens; Cupholders are the biggest single contributor to the year-over-year improvement in initial quality.

I’ve talked for years about something I call the Cupholder Quotient. Number of cupholders divided by number of people seated comfortably in a car. Greater than one is good. It’s an off the cuff measurement of a car’s design quality and it tends to be pretty accurate. The more cups a car is designed to support per passenger, the more likely the designers were empathically considering how the vehicle might be used from the passengers’ perspective.

It’s not just the screen, it’s complexity. Simplicity is your friend. And quit trying to make subscriptions happen, they’re not happening.
