Designers from BMW and Polar Star discussed the future of car interior design at the live event held by "Car Design News", and the host threw out such a question: Today's large screen is equal to high-end atmosphere, will it remain so in the future? Or where is the limit of screen size?
Matthias Junghanns, the designer in charge of BMW's i-series all-electric models, clearly has an opinion on this: "Is the big screen so important? I personally firmly believe that these dark glass panels are (not only against the law) for car interiors... Sooner or later it will be abandoned. ”
"The future of vehicle information flow is at the driver's fingertips, and the interface is only visible when you need it."
Polar Star interior designer Conny Blommé has a similar idea: "Boom and bust is a natural law, and large screens should be no exception." When driving, you pay attention to the scenery outside the car rather than the large screen inside the car. ”
The big screen may be useful for bored passengers and co-pilots. For the driver, the role of the large screen is to display the condition of the car when it is ignited.
In fact, the strength and vehicle grade of the depot are determined by the HUD, and the high-end HUD can not only replace the screen to display vehicle information (including the sword villain) and road condition information (including speed limit signs), but also the navigation indication can be displayed in front of the driver in the most intuitive form.
What's more, the driver does not need to shift his sight when using the HUD. Once automakers allow HUD projection for third-party navigation, the use of the big screen may only be games and TV series.
Nowadays, the flood of large screens is actually to cut costs, and a touch screen can replace a large number of buttons and switches, which not only reduces the burden of procurement and supply chain, but also steals a lot of laziness in the design stage, such as component layout and interference inspection. That's why so many automakers know it's anti-human, but insist on throwing air conditioning and seat adjustments to screen menus.
iDrive 8 + screen + S58 six-cylinder machine + hand change, is this the strongest generation and the last generation of M2 oil car?
The M3 travel version, which could be announced as soon as next month, will also use the system. BMW may be the last manufacturer to popularize the big screen, or maybe the car rules big screen has dropped to the psychological price point? You can not only enjoy the benefits of unified style and unified procurement, but also cater to consumer psychology, why not.
