Is even having all this stuff on a center console touch screen such a good idea? I drive an old Civic with no touch screens and I know every function by feel—hardly have to take my eyes off the road. Driving my wife's car or parents' car, both with touchscreens, I've occasionally found myself cruising down the interstate at 80 mph tapping through nested menus... I've never driven a Tesla, but I'm skeptical that a giant touchscreen has better UX than the usual array of knobs and buttons, all the more so if I have to use it for basic things like defrosting and the UI is revised on occasion.
- crooked-v 5y agoIt's a bad idea. It's just cheaper than physical controls.

They're an absolute behemoth of a company now, they should at the very least spend some time making an interior that's actually nice to spend time in. The 2022 Honda Civic is a masterclass in how to do automotive design right. It's a throwback when it needs to be, forward-looking when it should. The interior is beautiful and I predict it will age much better than these all-screen layouts (which may end up going the way of the phosphor display gauges common on many American cars in the 80s)
