More voice, less touch.
Car --- volume up
Car --- temperature down
Car --- cruise control
Car --- lights on
Car --- navigate home
Eyes on the road, hands on the wheel. Anything else is a sub-optimal UI that can be improved with some imagination and a little work.
- freetinker 1y agoTerrible. Interaction loop is too slow. Not ergonomic.
- mathiaspoint 1y agoI'd say just give me a volume knob but there's almost nothing worth listening to on the radio anyway. I actually yanked the fuse on mine to keep it from draining the battery. At least with climate controls give me tactile knobs. Of course someone I know got the new tachoma and they made the 4wd switch exactly the same as the AC/fan knobs which is just so fucking insane. It's like whatever process is used to design these interfaces seeks out the worst way to do it given the requirements. Idk maybe I just want a dune buggy at this point. At least there's no design by committee corporate brain damage I can't rip out of that.
- bdangubic 1y agowe had voice-activation for a decade now, nobody uses it - hence bigger and bigger screens :)
- jqpabc123 1y agoI have yet to experience voice activation in an auto that wasn't severely limited and fell way short of what is currently possible.
- Sohcahtoa82 1y agoVoice controls for common tasks? No way. In my experience, that means I can't use the controls while somebody is talking or the voice recognition will pick up a mish-mash of words between us. It also means there's often a delay between when you say a command and when it happens. Saying "Navigate home" is fine. I would not want "Temperature down". Volume and cruise controls should be controls on the steering wheel. Climate controls can be in the console, but should be physical, as it's typically pretty easy to take a quick glance, then find it without continuing to stare at it, unlike a touch screen.
- rascul 1y agoI'd rather have physical controls for all of those.

- paradox460 1y agoOk, playing turn up the radio by autograph on Spotify
- sunaookami 1y agoThat reminds me of the movie "2012" where they try to flee in a car (Bentley?) and nobody knows how to turn it on and everyone panics. Suddenly, someone from behind says they should all shut up and says "Start the motor".
