Cities then moved to ban such pricing algorithms.

It was great chatting with @scifri.bsky.social again about buttons since my last interview in 2019 -- back then they were a "dying" interface and now we're seeing a fascinating resurgence.
In recent years, digital touchscreens have replaced many car controls, but now physical buttons and knobs seem to be making a comeback. @rachelplotnick.bsky.social and @jmorri2.bsky.social join us to talk about the pros and cons of physical controls and why automakers might choose one over another.
