Looks pretty intuitive to me.

Or is it like an F-16 side stick controller and doesn’t actually move?

I’ve not driven a new Jeep so I can’t really comment.

On the BMW, it’s like a rocker switch forward/back.
No actual shift mechanism, just electricals.

So you really have to look at the shift indicator to know which mode it’s in.

It moves a little bit but you have to confirm that you are in the gear you want.

In other words, it moves up a little and down a little but its a defined distance (about an inch )and doesnt correspond to a physical gear shift where you physically move the handle into a gear.

If in park, move down until the D illuminates, if in D, move up until the P illuminates.

Its totally possible to think you are in Park and not be and step out if you are functionally retarded, and fully half the population or more is.
