That’s actually really sharp looking.
Needs real buttons. Giant screen looks futuristic, but when the driver needs to navigate an on screen menu, that's too much time with your focus off the road.
Chevy really nails car interiors. They have knobs and buttons for anything you'd want to mess with while driving, and then have a touch screen for stuff like GPS.
I have a Subaru crosstrek and it almost has that sweet spot for me. Front and rear defroster, temp up and dow, volume, and hazards are physical buttons, I just wish fan speed wasn’t on the screen but it stays put and never goes away and usually I leave it on auto so there’s that
All the sensors stuff and advanced settings are tucked away in the screen and I don’t really need those when I’m driving so I’m fine with that being in a screen
Ford has also been going back to buttons. It's more expensive, but it's far better for safety.
On which models? The 2024 Mustang just changed to a full touchscreen, which pushed us away from it.
Chevy really missed the mark with their infotainment center though. Sure it's got a handful of buttons, but there's too many issues with it in my opinion.
I drive a 2020 Malibu and I wish I could change the radio out for something that's a little more tactile but there's nothing that really ticks all of the boxes and has the vehicle canbus integration to control the climate and alarm systems
Maybe they've gone downhill, or maybe some of their vehicles aren't as good as others. My Colorado is perfect. I was sitting in a 2023 Camaro last year, and it seemed pretty solid too.
That’s where the FSD comes in or a Neuralink brain meld.
