What Car Has Your Favorite Dashboard? - Jalopnik

A Jalopnik piece argues that while dashboards can be made visually striking, the real priority is how quickly and clearly they communicate information to the driver. The article compares modern cockpit trends—especially the move toward touchscreens and the decline of physical buttons—against the effectiveness of straightforward controls. It highlights a “time test” metric used during car evaluations, measuring how many seconds it takes to find the time at a glance while driving. A Volvo EX30 example reportedly took ten seconds, attributed to the time being located in a corner of the center touchscreen.
