Not sure how I feel about this. I like the idea of larger screens and a software company working on software (as Audi is obviously struggling here) but at the same time Apple never really allows anyone to skin their software so not sure how I feel about driving a car with a generic interface.
I'm more concerned with the amount of crap on screen here. We can probably configure it but why would I need to see my call log or my calender or even drive with a compass?!
This is classic Apple adapting a design language and not really thinking about what it's being used for.
I'm a little more excited by the Google Android Auto updates coming out next month which would still use the second screen which would let the OEM's own the instrument cluster.
Thoughts?
