While the Tesla Cybertruck was capturing all of our attention, VW presented the ID. SPACE VIZZION at LA show. Perhaps VW needs to work on the marking approach, but ID. SPACE VIZZION includes several Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) innovations.
- An augmented reality head-up display (AR HUD) will replace the traditional instrument cluster and it will be the primary information display. The cluster will become a secondary mini display showing only basic information. Of course, the AR HUD needs to be seen, but VW’s approach is the future on interior cockpit design with clusters getting smaller to display only basic information.
-A 15.6” touchscreen display for information and entertainment features. I don’t know the exact dimensions, but I assume the aspect ratio is 16:10 (same as Tesla 3). In any case, this is the right approach to enhance driver and passenger UX.
-Climate control. There is a touch slider at the bottom of the screen to change temperature. I am little bit skeptical on this, primarily because of the location. The free-floating effect looks great, but I would prefer a surface (lip) to act as a palm rest.
-I will post separately on Steering wheel ID. Light (the interior light is probably one of the greatest innovations)
