Not only in the living room is a big screen, but also at work you stare at it all day long. If you&#8217;re not staring at a computer screen, you&#8217;re on your phone and in bed at night you have an e-reader in your hands. It&#8217;s no different in the car, as these days they&#8217;re full of screens too. That looks nice and modern, but is it progress?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/mercedes-benz_eqs_450_24-1140x760.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-130329\"><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Nej<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to the Swedish car magazine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vibilagare.se\/nyheter\/physical-buttons-outperform-touchscreens-new-cars-test-finds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vi Bil\u00e4gare<\/a>, this is not the case. The Swedish colleagues examined what works better in a car: touchscreens or physical buttons. The car magazine compared the controls of eleven modern cars from different manufacturers and a completely screen-less 17-year-old Volvo V70.<\/p>\n<p>During the test, it was tracked how long it took a driver to perform various simple tasks. It also measured the distance a car traveled that during these actions. The following four tasks were involved:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Activate the seat heater, increase the temperature by two degrees and start the defogging function<\/li>\n<li>Turn on the radio and set the station to a specific channel (Sweden&#8217;s NPO Radio 1)<\/li>\n<li>Reset the on-board computer<\/li>\n<li>Turn the central screen illumination to the lowest level and turn off the infotainment screen.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The test was conducted on an empty airfield, at a speed of 110 km\/h. Participants were given time in advance to master the infotainment system to create as fair a playing field as possible.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Results<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As expected, the old Volvo V70 came out on top. In just ten seconds, and over a distance of 306 meters, all tasks were completed. By comparison, the driver in a state-of-the-art MG Marvel R needed 44.6 seconds for these tasks, covering a distance of 1,372 meters. More than four times the distance compared to the 2005 Volvo, in other words. A BMW iX and Seat Leon perform better, but don&#8217;t come close to the Volvo, literally. During the test, the drivers needed almost a kilometer to perform all tasks in these vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>A Dacia Sandero and Volvo C40 don&#8217;t perform badly, while also both have modern screens. However, the infotainment system in these cars is very simple, so you can quickly find the right functions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vibilagare.se\/public\/styles\/media_image\/public\/2022-08\/results.png?itok=EgWuZ1YZ\" alt=\"\" width=\"1278\" height=\"421\"><figcaption>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vibilagare.se\/nyheter\/physical-buttons-outperform-touchscreens-new-cars-test-finds\">Vi Bil\u00e4gare<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td>\n  <strong>Auto<\/strong>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n  <strong>Time to perform the four tasks, in seconds<\/strong>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n  <strong>Score, 1-5<\/strong>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>BMW iX<\/td>\n<td>30.4<\/td>\n<td>4.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dacia Sandero<\/td>\n<td>13.5<\/td>\n<td>3.75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hyundai Ioniq 5<\/td>\n<td>26.7<\/td>\n<td>3.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mercedes CAP<\/td>\n<td>20.2<\/td>\n<td>3.25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>MG Marvel R<\/td>\n<td>44.9<\/td>\n<td>2.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nissan Qashqai<\/td>\n<td>25.1<\/td>\n<td>4.25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Seat Leon<\/td>\n<td>29.3<\/td>\n<td>3.25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Subaru Outback<\/td>\n<td>19.4<\/td>\n<td>4.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tesla Model 3<\/td>\n<td>23.5<\/td>\n<td>3.75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Volkswagen ID.3<\/td>\n<td>25.7<\/td>\n<td>2.25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Volvo C40<\/td>\n<td>13.7<\/td>\n<td>3.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Volvo V70 (2005)<\/td>\n<td>10.0<\/td>\n<td>4.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Square Eyes Screens dominate the life of modern man.
