I said I think future interaction design will be as mature as 
industrial design now is. It will hard and pretty pointless to have facts for that 
expression. And ofcourse I have none. For that kind of expressions I 
will need never any facts.

My perception is that there is so incredibly lot to improve on sofware to get that 
same comfortable control of cars, there is a long way to go. I had this opinion in
a certain context of the earlier message and I am not going to start another thread. 
It is becoming boring.
