Like many of you, it’s my first time designing a digital display specifically for a car! I’ve spent time reading through case studies and finding resources online, specifically pertaining to In-Vehicle Infotainment Systems (IVIs).
Here’s a list of some of the resources I’ve used:
Current Products on the Market

(This is the longest list of infotainment systems, lots of pictures)!https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/best-infotainment-system/
https://gearpatrol.com/2019/04/23/the-7-best-car-infotainment-systems-you-can-buy/
(a more in-depth analysis into which one's are the best and why. Feel free to argue these!)

(okay this is really long but it was actually really interesting)https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/35788/designing-ux-for-an-in-vehicle-infotainment-system (this is a discussion but was kind of cool to understand how industry designers think about what appears to be a simple problem, but is actually a monster )
