@SaltWraith @BroDrillard @EvilSandmich @Dr_Edgar_Friendly_MD right. like when you are trying to park you don't want to have to keep looking to ensure you are hitting the right button or putting the dial at the right place.

With the level it's pretty easy to know the right height.

That said I could see someone designing a dial that had a similar heaviness in the feel with something tactile that make it easy to feel you were switching to reverse or drive.
