How I pattern-match this post:
"Here is an unsolved problem from a domain I hold no expertise in. The fact it is not solved suggests that not enough effort is being applied to it. More effort should be applied to it. I am somehow more clever than the people in this domain for noticing this. After all, how hard could it be?"
Experience teaches me that the base rate for holding and expressing this sentiment, and being correct about it, is incredibly low.
That was why I made this post. My purpose is not to solve the cup-holder problem, but to ask whether such mistakes exist.
Designing a car is such a complicated process that there are many ways things could fall through the cracks. Such as final approval for designs being given in Japan or Europe, where people perhaps don't value cup-holders as highly.
