Features I want in an automobile touchscreen Empty

Having played briefly with the Tesla's huge 19" screen -- and now having played with a 2018 Subaru 9" touchscreen -- I'm coming up with a list of features I'd want in my next car (all of these I've seen, either in cars or on my phone):

  • Sat-nav maps
  • giving directions from A to B
  • voice activated
  • with live traffic and road closure info
  • ability to search for nearby businesses ("find me the nearest pizza restaurant," "where is the closest Chevron station?")
  • Onscreen map should show business names as you pass them
  • AM-FM-CD-USB stereo controls including parametric EQ (most have track & volume controls on the steering wheel as well)
  • Link with Pandora ("Pandora, play classical guitar")
  • Climate control front/rear left/right = temp, air, defrost, a/c
  • Info on the car's health, like oil pressure & changes due, tire pressure, temp, fuel level, next scheduled service, recall notices, etc.
  • Miles to go (at current mpg) before refueling
  • Diagnosis of any engine codes
  • Integration with iPhone
  • Updated live MPG
  • Indications when braking too hard or accelerating too hard -- but with the ability to turn off or make extremely subtle
  • "Find my car" links with smartphone
  • "Siri"-like general information service ("Hey Siri, who was the King of Siam?")
  • Emergency SOS call to 911 if airbags deploy
