Finally. Are they actually hiring decent UX folks this time or are they using the people who designed 1980s VCR programming UIs again?

You mean like the 1985 Subaru XT Coupe? God I love that cassette futurism look!

Steering wheel looks like a gun which fits since it'll probably kill you

That is such a strange looking steering wheel.

Funny part is it looks sci-fi to me.

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

This will never not be sci fi to me lol

The retro futurism of the 80's was the best

did 80s VCRs even have OSD? we went from a top loading National to a hi-fi so basically skipped the 80s. and 90s VRC UX would be perfectly acceptable as far as I'm concerned.

They mostly didn't have OSDs, they instead had indecipherable 7-segment and some fixed elements like 'Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa', with 2 or 3 buttons. The younger Gen-X/older Millennials got their reputation as 'whiz kids' in part by handling those interfaces on behalf of their mystified parents.

80s and early 90s designed the best dashboards. Change my mind mf.
