First party operating systems always seem to be terrible.
BMW’s is alright IMO. Unorthodox in its layout but it actually works well with the center console knob thingy and has historically been low-latency even back when every other manufacturer had a 2 second delay for every action on their awful touch screens.
Of course even BMW’s system is still going to end up being an overly expensive Android Auto/Apple CarPlay launcher because what people want is Waze & Spotify, not random traffic updates from last week & DAB.
I would extend that and just say all first party operating systems are shitty
They should bring better UX engineers into the boat.
The old M.B os and its touch interface (in combination with the physical touchpad) is a horror even for digital matured persons.
To me it felt like they dont want you to operate the cars system during driving and let everything taking care by the bullshit voice recognition.
Car companies using Qt, what else is new?
I heard the rumor that Linux desktop environments use it too. Now hopefully multimedia apps with 3 letters like VLC and OBS can adopt it too.
j/k
and then they’ll turn around and charge you $5 to turn your ac on
Will it collect data about my sexual activity?
Why not Android Auto and Apple Car Play? First party systems suck
While I agree that first party systems suck, as someone with neither an iOS or Android device I personally prefer something work rather than a screen that says “connect iOS/Android”.
True. Why not all three? Options
Why aren’t car companies evaluating React Native on mobile OS’s since that seems to be the way of embedded touch UIs going forward?
Because with QT you can have a propriatary mess of incomprehensible spaghetti code. And it’s unknown by competent front end designers which means the back end guys can have all the fun!
