The dashboard was once a simple collection of mechanical needles showing speed and temperature. Today, it is a high-definition infotainment center. This "digital cockpit" is designed to make the driver feel in control, yet it serves as the primary source of cognitive distraction.
The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety has found that even "hands-free" systems can distract a driver for up to 27 seconds after they finish a task. We are currently in a "UI/UX war" where car manufacturers are competing for our attention while simultaneously telling us to keep our eyes on the road. The future of interior design must move toward "minimalist safety," where only the most critical information is shown, perhaps via Head-Up Displays (HUD), to keep the driver's focus where it belongs: through the windshield
