i’m extremely pissed that convinced everyone that the aesthetic of the future was putting a big ass screen for all the car controls. dogshit. asking everybody to drive into each other and die. chinese automakers could be innovating extremely retrofuture tactile controls that do all this cool shit, but no, we just have this nonsense.
The big “infotainment” screens in cars genuinely give me the heebie jeebies, I can’t stand looking at them. It doesn’t help that reading text in a moving car as a passenger makes me motion sick.
I think the Xiaomi SU7 still has physical buttons in addition to the screen. That’s what they show in their promo videos anyway. That car looks so good.
Edit: yup, it has a bunch of physical switches and even a volume knob, Xiaomi keeps winning.
though that looks like it has some kind of all-in-one physical interface with the buttons and dial on the middle partition, and also stuff on both sides of the steering wheel
the screen looks awful but it doesn’t seem like you’d use it as a touch screen while driving

Maybe the one big screen is a surrogate for the 3+ smartphones each and every Chinese DiDi driver I’ve ever seen seemingly has.
He did say one of the cars run HarmonyOS so yeah that might be more capable than Android Auto.

Is that a WiFi router on the dashboard???
A handful of cars have these weirdo dash pods now, they usually contain massive speakers, a bunch of sensors, or both at the same time.
