In the future, Audi plans completely to abandon the physical buttons and sliders in the cabin, assigning all touch screens-said the company's technical director Ulrich Hakkenberg. According to minimalist and rather controversial Interior of the concept Prologue (it controls all peripherals by touch screens) in another shape or form will be used for other serial models.
Today on the new Audi TT dashboard has been replaced by a screen, and the system can work with functions of MMI. A passenger can manage multimedia systems with a separate tablet, which Audi supplies with an extra charge. In the future, this system will appear on all models, but it will be more integrated,- said Ulrich Hakkenberg. It is interesting that last year the experts in ergonomics called car companies not to get involved in sensory and virtual buttons, while maintaining the maximum possible number of physical switches. In their view, the sensors are distracting the driver from the road.
