I'm not sure what principle of KISS would imply bogus speed reporting. I think a car is a good example here because the interface a person has with a car is generally considered quite intuitive and simple and not in a way that obscures important aspects of control.
For example, even when I set cruise-control at "60km/h" the speedometer reads the speed independently. This is especially clear if one has previously set cruise-control, and then altered speed and resumes it. One can see the speedometer climb or fall to the set speed. Transmission merely reports that set speed immediately. Similarly, if a radical change in terrain slows or speeds the car, one sees that reported on the speedometer and also gauge cruise-control's attempt to correct it. Seems to me that is KISS. -- When speed limit is set, Speed reported in the status bar is mostly wrong https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649294 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
