Everybody else is doing what Tesla is doing. BMW is turning the whole front windscreen into a fully customizable head up display. Amazing idea, amazing tech, it's mind boggling how much hate it gets here. But also maybe it's not that surprising, this is the time we're living. People are sad, depressed, unhappy - so they hate everything new and glorifying junk from the past, junk from their happy years.
It's exactly like saying '4K UltraHD Dolby Vision sucks, VHS is so much better. That analogue feel was so good!'

Actually what I mean is removing information from directly in front of the driver. Splaying the information across the bottom of the windscreen is once again non optimal if you want focus on the road in front of the driver.
I can't imagine putting any relavent information on the bottom of the windshield beyond the center point. Anything beyond that pulls the driver's vision to far from looking at the road or anything else.
I presume all will have a HUD but then you run into the limitations of polarizations unless you diagonally polarize the screen. Right now my HUD is only clear when I'm wearing polarized glasses if I tilt my head about 30-40 degrees.
As for the center touch screen? I don't like the buttons on the bottom because they seem less ergonomic than having them on the left.
I think what I have now with my i4 is a pretty good mix of tactile and screen.
I'm not a hater of technology. What I want is a good implementation that looks at how a person uses the interface, not what a designer thinks people do.
