I'm surprised to see no mention of haptic feedback. I've always thought Apple's Force Touch was a gimmick on a phone, but in a car it could be very useful on a touch screen like what Teslas have. Imagine being able to run your finger over the screen to "feel" the climate control touch area then "hard press" it to activate.
- jimmies 6y agoThe problem is that you wouldn’t be able to feel the haptic on a shaky car (running on a highway).
- kingnothing 6y agoThat doesn't discount it from being useful in most scenarios, though.
- stan_rogers 6y ago"Car on road and in motion" seems to cover most scenarios where operating the controls of a car would be something you'd want to do.
- kingnothing 6y agoI drive a Tesla. I'm speaking first hand that this would be a useful feature. Most of my driving is not on a gravel road that's bumping so much I can't feel anything; it's on smooth surface streets and highways where a little vibration from the screen would be beneficial.
