Car industry design head Andreas Mint said Autocar The company “will never make this error again” and promised to collect material controls for size, heating controls, fan speed, and activating the light light at the bottom of the touch screen for all cars that start ID 2all for the next year.
Mindt also says that the decision to restore physical buttons was dependent on customer notes. “Frankly, it’s a car. Mendt said:” It is not a phone: it’s a car. “We understood this.”
Volkswagen is not the only automobile manufacturer that has a physical stereotype in recent times. Last year, Hyundai said that the concentration groups were “tense, harassed and steam” when they could not control something in a pinch. Hyundai and KIA followed an EVS touch screen approach, such as Hyundai Ionik 6 and Kia Ev6. Meanwhile in China, Xiaomi has an accessory options for customers Add their material controls.
The trend towards digital interfaces has been launched more than a decade ago by Tesla Model S with a largely impressive central touch screen. Slowly, the company has removed other material controls, including transmission legs and signal rotation. The latter was revived in the new model and It may return to model 3.
Volkswagen change comes in an interesting time as the new European Union Automobile Assessment Program (NCAP) He was appointed to present new rules next year Cars require that they have some physical controls to achieve a full five -star safety classification.
It contradicts the feelings of some CEOs of cars, including the Rivian Wassy Bensaid, who called Puritors in the car “anomaly” He expected that everything would soon be controlled by sound.
