Reminds me a lot of the skeuomorphism from classic iOS and WebOS, but cleaned up with elements of modern “flat” designs.
- varjag 9mo agoThis is not a production system yet. Also, as someone who suffered VW/Cariad developed UI since 2021, it's going to suck balls.
- thesumofall 9mo agoI suffered similarly but I think the latest software (>5.0) solved most of the issues and I don’t notice the software anymore at all (which I take as a positive - I.e., it just gets out of the way)
- varjag 9mo agoI'm not sure we're even on same versions. They appear to push different branches on different platform revisions. Mine still cold boots/watchdogs every time you start the car in what I suspect a Patriot-style fix of numerous issues. It still has confirmation dialogs over confirmation dialogs (e.g. when selecting CarPlay you get to confirm your choice three times). Voice input is still unusable: the only thing it reliably recognizes is when I tell it to fuck off (and it scolds me for that). Door locks/keyless became more unreliable, which I frankly doubted was even possible. Everything is lagging, especially after cold boot: getting to entering nav destination after you sit in the car takes an eternity.
- thesumofall 9mo agoFrom what I’ve read it will be real and is supposed to evoke the early VW Polos. I believe you will be able to switch between that and a more „modern“ look
- Molitor5901 9mo agoPerhaps I am a very small minority, but.. I really miss skeuomorphism.
- rconti 9mo agoThe (digital) gauges are interesting too, like a throwback to VWs of yore.
- mosburger 9mo agoI thought so too, they reminded me of the speedometer and analog clock (lol) in the '81 Rabbit I had in high school.
