In case anyone was wondering what the Apple Car would have looked like inside, it would have been roughly this.

As an Apple Car™ it makes sense, but as a Ferrari it's incredibly soulless and oversimplified. This Ive design aesthetic (Dieter Rams' aesthetic really) is fine on consumer electronics where you want the device to disappear and give way to the display, but on something as emotional as a vehicle (Ferrari especially), this design falls flat.

I do hope some of the design details work their way through the industry (e.g. using glass instead of gloss black plastic, convex glass to add depth to digital gauges), but I hope the rest of it stays as a one-off experiment demonstrating the hubris and one-dimensionality of a top designer.

What is oversimplified specifically (given this is an electric car)

So bland. An iPad put in a holder. I was not exactly hoping for, because I didn't really, but I dreamt of a much more radical design direction.

The tablet interface looks cheap and low-budget. When you spend that much on a car you don't want the interior to look like a Model S.

Not only cheap, but boring in a car which wasn't supposed to be boring.

In many other cars that look would have been sleek.
