I can't believe people thought that having more distractions pulling your eyes away from the road to operate would make things safer :mjlol:

Horrible product design from a safety standpoint.

Can't stand a full touch screen for everything, not feelin it at all. BMW has completely ruined it, gotta go thru a bunch of menus just to get to stuff like the heated seats or air conditioning. Theres even talks about them making all of these options a subscription if you want specific options :camby:

They changed some shyt for 2023/4?



BMW used to have the best system and they got rid of even HVAC controls...and the iDrive buttons in the middle are all "touch" now :mindblown:

not to mention, these things age worse than milk and then you have to rely on upgrades to keep them functioning

If you ever dealt with smartphone or tablet screen repair, you'd have an idea how terrible a whole bunch of screens inside the front of a vehicle would be.
digitizer and/or lcd damage for screens that large would be expensive to replace. backlight issues, dead pixels or the system freezing would be torture as well as dangerous.

they should focus more on voice assistant, custom voice commands and an IVR for you car so drivers don't take their eyes off the road.

Is this why pretty much all touch screens have voice functions? And the phones we connect to them have car modes and voice functions. People always finding some ways to bytch about something and not use all the features that they have access to

This is obvious. Lol. They didn't even need a study for this. How they thought this would be any better than looking at a smart phone while driving is beyond me. Lol

these car companies need to stop trying reinvent the wheel and just let CarPlay and whatever the android version is take over
I hate all these infotainment systems they make up
