Cheaper? You mean $5 of plastic and rubber versus a overpriced tablet? Consumers lose functionality and gain nothing. I don't want to play angry birds or whatever Tesla offers, I want to hit the AC button for the AC, or the radio button for the radio. All cars have these basic features.
- MrRiddle 5y agoButtons need to be designed, dash that fits those buttons need to be designed. They already get the touchscreen, adding smaller screen + buttons is more expensive than no buttons + larger screen.
- Bancakes 5y agoRedesigned how, 90% of cars look the same, and it's been industry standard for years.
- swiley 5y agoI was kind of with you up until here. Radios at least are modular in most cars so you can just swap them out. I wouldn't be too surprised if everything else was designed this way at most car manufacturers but with a proprietary module system. Many seem to pick one or two design languages and at that point the buttons need to be designed one or two times.
