    Because it obscures the speedometer which could be dangerous and shows why we shouldn’t have screens for everything. They’ve still got regular gauges on airplanes for backup. I don’t see the need to change away from analog gauges.

      It doesn’t help that they also just have the one screen.

      They could easily have had a secondary display behind the steering wheel that shows only the important info… but no… they followed Tesla’s model to cut costs with one screen that does most everything.

      Really wish there was more regulation on this. Everything core instruments should not require software to function.

      Are analog gauges more expensive or they just cannot show ads while the driver is idling?
