A Car Design News poll confirmed what many already suspected – not many of us are fans of giant touchscreens
It was glum tidings for touchscreen fans at the latest installment of Car Design Dialogues, CDN’s global virtual event as the majority of the viewers identified the screen as the design trend they would most like to see the back of. In a live poll, CDN pitted giant touchscreens alongside other popular design trends: minimalism, SUV/Coupe crossovers, and lightbars. Giant touch screens were the runaway winner, capturing a whopping 60% of the vote. SUV/Coupe crossovers came in a poor second with 21%.
