678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

The gauges are screens, but they might that I don't know if this one does or not, but there's other gauges that have physical real life hands.

678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

There you go.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Yeah, yeah.

And then around the three gauges is a screen, but it's all really well integrated.

But the point is there's a mixture, at least some modicum, of physicality to it.

And then the steering wheel has the flattened bottom, which is John's favorite thing in the world.

There are no stalks.

The turn signals are, it's a T steering wheel or a three-spoke wheel.

The turn signals are inside the spokes that go laterally.

Then below those spokes, there's a couple of control pods, if you will.

And then on the center, they have basically an iPad, which I don't love that.

678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Yes, very rounded corners.

678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

I do love that they have a little bar in front of it that you can use as a wrist rest as you're operating the screen.

I don't know how I feel about the fact that you can tilt the screen toward or away from the driver.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Like I get the idea here, but I don't know if I like it.

But in the corner of the screen is a dial, a rounded dial that is separate from the rest of the screen.

in set within the screen, and it has physical hands on it.

And by default, it can show, I think it's like a stopwatch, and there's a couple of buttons on the outside of the screen, physical buttons on the outside of the screen to like start and lap, you know, hit the start, stop, and lap buttons if it's a stopwatch, or it can be a clock.

And because what's behind these physical hands is another screen, the HVAC controls are in the center screen, but there are a

a fair amount of physical controls, uh, the center consoles where the gear shift is, which is very interestingly done.
