Mercedes don’t have “someone” to do this stuff, they have “some teams of ergonomics and user interface designers”, so I think they’ll have thought it through.The more I think about it, the more I realise that someone at Mercedes really hasn't thought this through in detail, especially from a users perspective and have stuck with their way of doing it just to differentiate themselves from other cars.
Many of those designers will drive a Mercedes and will have driven cars from other marques, so they’ll be a user too. I’m not sure that your view is that widespread.
What makes the functionality being co trolled all from on a single stalk more confusing than that same function south being split across two stalks?
The functions and associated control movements still need to be remembered whether they’re found on one stalk, two stalks or a stalk for each function.
