And when that UI is repsonsible for fundamental safety and it's overcomplexity results in confusion during an emergency... well, yeah, there it is.
  
  Apparently part of why they do that is because the window has to partially open for the door to open without damaging the window trim, because instead of having a frame around the window like most cars they needed to be different for reasons
