The real world equivalent would be if one's car's UI completely changed
with each new model year.  One year there is a steering wheel, on the
left, with the gearshift in the center console.  The very next year
there's a pilot joystick instead of a steering wheel, and the shifter
is now a motorcycle style twist handle at the top of the joystick.  The
third year you get "feet operated steering pedals" and "hand powered
brakes" via a center console lever, with the gearshift being a slide
lever embedded in the door, etc.

 
Gearshift? Only cars from the last millennium have that.

There is still the lever (or whatever) to select forward (drive), reverse, and
park.  Even EVs have at least forward and reverse.

(I think some sports cars and some heavy trucks, still have manual
transmissions.)
