I feel like nobody has figured out yet how these screens and components in a modern car should fit together that don't look like little iPhones and iPads just mounted in a car. There are some nice buttons here, and individual components (as photographed) look good on their own. BUT altogether it still seems like disparate components who share design language, just slapped into a vehicle.

Agreed. This projects looks like they couldn’t find a meaningful way to innovate and had to reach for impact-less uniqueness - physical clock on a digital screen, Oled gauges for no reason.

While I quite like the choices around physical vs digital controls, this aesthetic feels refined to the most unexciting degree: objectively good, but locked in the past. In fairness, automotive interiors (especially EVs) seem to be having a bit of an identity crisis across the board.

That steering wheel looks absolutely awful. Like a budget car. And the UX is rubbish. The easiest to reach buttons are ones that are nearly never needed: drive mode (usually used 0-2 times per trip), wiper mode (but no single wipe?). The only frequently used ones are the indicators - which I don't love but I guess stalks are a bit meh aesthetically - and the speed cruise. But sensors? Suspension? Why are they there?…

Heh, my thought on opening the article and seeing the image was "huh, without the badge in the photo, if forced to guess the make, I'd have gone with Kia."

glad to see some physical buttons, but there aren't nearly enough of them and they aren't differentiated enough the emergency lights button should be colored red and elevated because it needs to be interacted with in high-stress situations temperature should be set with a slider rather than a toggle switch because then a given temperature selection becomes spatially consistent and selecting max-hot or max-cold is ins…

Agreed. I wonder why they didnt immediately think of that (slider for temperature etc). Is it our hubris as armchair UI designers that we miss obvious problems? Is it internal politics? Is it bureaucracy? Is it hardware difficulties?

i think physical sliders are aesthetically fairly ugly (although two vertical sliders on either side of the control cluster could look good)

they also make it difficult to support an "auto" function, because they would need to move automatically to maintain a consistent user experience

sliders aren't used very often in cars now so it is probably harder to find well made components for them

etc

hopefully as the automakers move back to physical inputs they bring back these sorts of controls

I can't tell if it is just me, but a digital analogue clock is weird. I'm all for analogue time keeping with hands circling a face, but when it is put on a flat screen, it feels cheap. There aren't enough buttons, there is too much to read, and all of this while I'm driving. I remember my friends dad had a Corvette or something in the mid-late 90s, and it had this red projected HUD on the windshield. All of your info…

The speedo and rev counter are exactly where they should be. What else do you need to read while driving?

What buttons are you missing?

The watch face can change, repurposing the hands for a stopwatch and compass mode.
