I wouldn’t necessarily the engineers, but I’ll certainly blame the designers and product managers.

I absolutely hate my Acura’s infotainment system. My “favorite” feature isGPS autocomplete.

You type in part of an address (which of course has a very slow response time), then you pick the completion off the list.

Sounds fine right?

But when you click it, you’re met with a SLOW ANIMATION OF THE COMPLETION BEING TYPED INTO THE SEARCH BOX. Motherfuck dude! What the hell is that? Why does anyone want to watch the keyboard flash for five seconds?
