The following was a preliminary critique of the first iterations of the design with Arshan and Adrian

 

  1. Where the frick am I gonna see if I presssed the pedal brakes? 

    1. has to be a light outside of the driver display screen (driver display isn't on )

  2. buttons must be turned off when they're not available for pressing: e.g. can't put car in Drive when it's off/we turned on the car on the aux battery mode.

  3. Should we show a message to the user, if they press an unavailable button? (feedbackazzz?)

  4. Do we have brightness control on any of the screens? 

    1. how do we measure ambient brightness? 

    2. also, need to adjust brightness without any indicators on the screen. 

    3. need to be configurable

  5. Drive is usually green 

  6. Neutral usually white

  7. Reverse red

  8. Parking: What's the difference between Parking and Neutral

  9. Do we have any electronically applied/implicit brakes? otherwise we cannot have parking mode. (we can only have neutral, and user would have to apply handbrakes)

  10. Battery Voltage: not important 

  11. Battery State of Charge: more relevant

  12. Speed: ALWAYS ON THE SCREEN NO MATTER WHAT STATE WE'RE IN

  13. Arrows: I thought they were for changing the view:

    1. don't show them unless they're being used

  14. Nice to have: 

    1. narrowed down version of maps: 

  15. What I don't like: speed being in the left, it's not just as important as range

  16. time at the corner? 

  17. speed in the middle? 

  18. power usage? 

  19. do we have navigation buttons on the steering wheel or nah? 



Inspo:

  1. tesla model s



  1. speed most important
