They may be sized a bit more reasonably but they are still a serious distraction from the driving.
Additionally, just this week my M3's touchscreen became suddenly unresponsive and a couple minutes later it started to rain quite a bit. As my windshield slowly started fogging up (I was running with no AC due to mild temp), I realized I could not access the defog function!
Alternatives were pulling over, rebooting while driving (not as scary as it sounds, just fairly slow), or the voice control which still responded. Unfortunately it doesn't understand "defog" despite the menu option being called just like that, but it at least understood "turn on the air conditioner" which helped. I have to check if I can add defog to the new shortcuts function, but yeah: touchscreen should always have a physical alternative for critical functions, something even climate controls can be, surprisingly.
- diebeforei485 3y agoThat sounds like bad code or bad hardware making the touchscreen unresponsive, not bad UI design.
- gruturo 3y agoIndeed, some bug "just" caused the touchscreen to no longer respond to input (still working fine as a monitor) - but the absence of physical climate control knobso r buttons turned this into a serious issue - with the windshield fogged up, the car is unsafe to drive. That's how this becomes a UI/UX issue.
