Oldie but goodie: When digital "innovation" demolishes accessibility and common sense.
Opening the glove box in the Cadillac Lyriq SUV requires you to navigate through a touch screen menu, and among 10 on-screen options find and touch “Glove Box Release”.

In the linked video, a salesperson reveals it took him 2 weeks to learn how to open the glovebox. He also says it’s for security reasons.
So apparently when someone breaks into your car they’re gonna be totally stumped by how to break into your glove box.

Unsurprisingly, in several different videos I’ve seen the exact placement of the menu item to open the glove box is different.
What you may not know is that the car also has to be stationary. No way to open it when the car is in motion.
Also, wait for it… if your battery is dead it won’t open.
The fact that there are many, many videos online helping people understand HOW TO OPEN A GLOVE BOX should be some sort of red flag.
But, hey, at least it’s driving content creation.
