>“These screens are presented as this avant garde, minimalist design,” The idiotic trend of applying Jony Ive's minimalist iPad user interface designs to automotive touchscreen kills people. It pointlessly distracts from the primary purpose of designing user-friendly, intuitive, safe automotive touchscreens.

More practical less vain interface designers are finally calling for an end to this terrible trend in minimalist interface design on mobile devices, but it never should have been applied to automotive interfaces in the first place, and there is already lots of blood on the hands of cocaine-addled cargo-cult iPad interface designers mindlessly aping John Ive while working on automotive interfaces. The designer behind one of the iPad’s biggest apps is calling for an end to minimalism: https://www.fastcompany.com/90604970/the-designer-behind-one-of-the-ipads-biggest-apps-is-calling-for-an-end-to-minimalism https://www.fastcompany.com/90604970/the-designer-behind-one... The point of designing automotive touchscreen user interfaces is not to show off to the world what a brilliant sensitive snowflake of a minimalist avant garde artistic designer you are. It's not about designing beautiful enigmatic minimal screens uncluttered by pesky visual clues, signifiers, and affordances, more suited to be hung on the walls of art museums for patrons to stare at and interpret and argue over their ambiguous meaning in their leisure time. The art-first, safety-last trend of prioritizing aesthetics over usability in automotive interfaces should be outlawed, because it has a fatal impact in driver safety, that kills people.
