Old bugger vs complicated dashboard controls
Discussion
Is it just me, or are cars generally becoming way too complicated to control easily whilst driving. I have an Audi S5, with an "infotainment system", where you have to go into a menu to find the screen to alter a radio station, or alter the heater/AC etc, etc. I was faffing about with mine today, when I suddenly realised I was heading for the greenery to my left. Not a good situation. As a 51 year old, I remember having slide controls, with, for example blue at one end, and red at the other, meaning cold to hot, similarly there was a dial with a picture of a windscreen, face, and feet, and you just simply chose one in the blink of an eye, and it worked. The new Audi is a beautiful car to drive, but I do think the designers need to go more back to basics with heater, and radio controls, before my head explodes, as I try to take in all the info from the road, and the dash screen.
