Super7 Turbocharged November 16, 2014 Share November 16, 2014 For safety / aesthetic reasons, what you want to see in new dashboard? what should be removed? (same for interior of cars) 1 Bigger touch screen for controls, info, etc. This will replace switches, toggles, buttons, stalks, etc which can be usightly, or dangerous in case of accidents. But currently, the centrally located touch screen takes our eyes from the road, how should the new touch screen e positioned to avoid such dangerous distraction? 2 Steer by wire ----> do away with steering wheel using a handheld control pad, or joystick (like those in video game)? 3 Redesign seating arrangement: make the 4-5 seats like a U-shape (similar to that in lounges/ktvs)? 4 Thick, soft carpet on the floors 5 Touch pad / button on doors for window / door controls? 6 Ceiling:- LED design which can change colours / patterns (clouds, blue sky, starry nite, etc) as the passengers wish? 7 With touch screen replacing conventional control switches etc on the dashboard, the new dashboard can look totally different from what we have to day ----> design built-in coffee maker, food-warmer, etc for long distance drives. 8 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But personally I still prefer buttons, as you can control by 'feel' (like how you could text by feel using old Nokia phones, as compared to today's touch screen smartphones). Less distracting. 2) Nissan/Infiniti I think already has steer-by-wire system, but isn't this more dangerous? What if the electrics fail? Then no steering. 3) Then how to drive? If you talking about just the rear then perhaps yes, possible for MPVs/vans. But up front think probably still need to be forward facing. 4) See Rolls-Royce 5) Maybe. But same point about electrics. 6) Again, can be done (RR Phantom). But can also be quite distracting maybe. 7) Honestly, already got so many things distracting drivers nowadays. Add even more, lagi worse. Personally, I think all these can be good if we get to the stage of autonomous cars, but so long as we still need a driver to be in control, I think cars should be designed to cater to allow drivers to concentrate on driving. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktglfc Hypersonic November 16, 2014 Share November 16, 2014 Voice controlled, hence ability to control and drive car remotely... Maybe I just sit inside and chit chat with the computer on the dash board :)) Able to chit chat with me, able to tell me local and world news :)) Able to hook up internet, and read to me all the news while I am driving :)) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just sit inside and chit chat with the computer on the dash board :)) Able to chit chat with me, able to tell me local and world news :)) Able to hook up internet, and read to me all the news while I am driving :)) Eventually or ultimately auto pilot or driverless cars will be common as the computing speeds n power of chips n sensors used today are more than enough to operate such cars. Or, look at the multi task conveyer belts in factories' automated processes where say drink cans of different contents n destinations are moved seamlessly, swiftly from one station to the next with precise timings. Capsules in which commuters are carried can move in the same manner. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
