- dsr_ 3y agoIn my experience, people like the following remote features: * Where's my car? Press the button, get a honk. * Lock the doors. If they're powered, close themi first. * Unlock the doors. If they're powered, open them afterward. * Warm up the car, it's cold outside. * Cool down the car, it's hot outside. So that's five buttons on a remote, maximum. None of them require connection to infotainment systems.
- dsr_ 3y agoIf I didn't care about discoverability, I could reasonably reduce that to: * Lock button. Hold it down to get a honk. * Unlock button. Hold it to get the car started; if the interior temperature of the cabin is outside a set range, warm or cool it appropriately. Make one button big and round and smooth and bright, and the other one big and square and textured and dark.
- fragmede 3y agoThat's easy enough for the salesman to tell the customer when they're looking at the car. Still need a button to open the trunk tho.
- VectorLock 3y agoI do, yes. It'd also be nice to know things like state of charge/how much gas I got, whats the car temperature now - tell me when it reaches X, look at my car's cameras. There are plenty of compelling use-cases.
- forgetfreeman 3y agoThere was a time when vehicles had dedicated gauges for vital info like operating temp, oil pressure, rpms, etc. so it's not like solutions don't already exist that don't involve a fucking tablet in the middle of the dash. Backup cameras I'll give you though.
