Two automakers. Multiple deaths. One shared cause: interfaces that prioritized looking like the future over keeping people alive in the present.

Anton Yelchin's 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee didn't malfunction — it worked exactly as designed. Fiat Chrysler's monostable electronic shifter abandoned 80 years of muscle memory for a haptic gimmick that left 1.1 million drivers guessing whether their car was in Park. The recall came after Yelchin was already dead.

Then there's Tesla, where touchscreen-buried controls, door handles that fail in fires, and Autopilot marketing collide with the only metric that matters: who walks away.

Two case files. One verdict. When the interface is the murder weapon, "user error" is just the alibi.
