How would you feel about a dummy slider? One that let's people think they're in control of the car's behavior, but in fact does nothing?Setting aside that I don't think a car will ever have such a slider, giving people the option to set a slider from "selfish" to "Gandhi" doesn't seem like a great idea. Why would you give a user, ignorant of the actual algorithms used by an extremely complex device, control over something like that other than to make them feel better?
