- Hyundai is slowly backing away from the all-screen approach to interior design.
- Hyundai Design North America Vice President Ha Hak-soo said that people “get stressed, annoyed and steamed when they want to control something in a pinch but are unable to do so.”
I think, in general, the shift to having MOST functions be on the touchscreen is a good one.
When driving? You should generally only be futzing with (off the top of my head):
And the rest make perfect sense to keep behind menus you deal with when you are parked. And with modern cars, climate control stops being about balancing the knobs and becomes about setting the preferred temperature and MAYBE tapping the defrost/circultaion button. Which actually also makes sense to not need direct button access.
But yeah. Still 100% need physical buttons and knobs for the rest.
I think it is Subaru who have the big display screen and then a small row of dedicated buttons below it?
Windows? Gears? Seat? Mirrors?
You should not be touching your mirrors or seat while driving. That is what you do before you leave the parking space (… or at a red light).
Good call on the windows and gear (although… there are arguments that you don’t need to in an automatic) though. Forgot we live in a world where teslas are street legal.
If I’m being blinded by the car behind me and I can’t pull off to let them pass I’m adjusting the mirrors.
Invalid opinion. There’s still time to delete this.
