📔 Introduction

The driver display shows information about the car that is most relevant the driver while the car is in motion. Generally, it will contain gauges, indicators, and warning symbols. This content may change depending on the car's equipment, settings, and which functions are active at that time.

What’s special about our display?

MS XIV will have a 7” x 5” touchscreen integrated into the dashboard behind the steering wheel.

The driver display will receive data from the Telemetry Pi, which will allow us to display unique information such as the ‘recommended speed’ that Strategy will be modeling.

🏁 Goals

  • To create an interface that will cater and will be intuitive to both the typical everyday driver and driver for MS XIV.

  • To design a reliable system, which in turn will reduce the required level of attention so the driver may focus on the road ahead of them while driving for long periods
