If Car Companies Employed People from Telecoms

Since I am in the middle of the lousy mobile development jungle (that I often compare to the car industry), I cannot help myself mentioning this “what would happen if a car company only employed people from the telecoms background” quotes from MobHappy. All of them are very relevant. The best “sooo true…” statements are:

• You’ll notice quirky little changes in the car controls depending on the manufacturer. Some cars put the gas pedal on the left, some favour the traditional right – with hilarious results!
• New cars would come with wheels that you need to change before you can drive it on A roads and you’ll need to reconfigure the brakes before they work.
• Ads for every car will promise speeds up to 450 miles per hour.
• Access to gears 4, 5 and 6 will be hidden.
• Changing lanes sometimes makes the car stall.
• When you buy a car, you have to promise to keep it for two years, during which you can only use one brand of fuel – although some shady garages will “unlock” your car. You can also refuel over the air, as well as garages but over the air costs twice as much as it’s so convenient and cool.
