The killer invention would be a device that is as easy to replace/maintain/configure/adapt as the glass/ipad interface, but as easy to do blindly as an 80's knobs-and-buttons interface. I'm sure automakers have plowed money into all kinds of cool haptic inventions, and there are lots of past examples of UX innovation (BMW control wheel, modern HUDs). I hope we'll figure this one out eventually, because the Tesla solution sure isn't the end of the story.
- OOPMan 4y agoYou really think screens and integrated electronics are easier to maintain and cheaper to replace than plastic buttons and copper wire?
- alkonaut 4y agoYes, absolutely and of course. It’s not even close. It’s basically 1 cable to install. And you can use the same hardware for all models and all trims. By “maintain” I mean “adapt to new models and features”. But it’s likely often cheaper to repair as well since labor is the majority of the cost.
