A classic example that springs to mind is the BMW iDrive, which has caused new Bimmer owners no end of frustration

Not wanting to be left behind, Mercedes Benz went ahead and designed a similar system. So you have a situation where two companies are competing vigorously against eachother without taking into consideration the needs and wants of their customers.
In this case, it has been reported that the consolidation of function controls onto one device have caused accidents.
That's beside the point tho - When you fork out the extra for a Merc or Bimmer you expect to get extra buttons to play with! Otherwise you'd just buy a Lada.
