Tesla is also at the forefront in terms of technological configurations in developing cars. At present, many of the advanced features of Tesla’s cars are developed by Tesla itself. patent. Just recently, foreign media exposed a set of Tesla patent drawings, and the patent drawings show the interior design of future Tesla models, including the elimination of gear shifting. The most important thing is that , the steering wheel is obviously different from now. In the future, the steering wheel on Tesla models will add a touch screen.
Currently, there are physical buttons on the left and right sides of the steering wheel of Tesla models, which are the same as the multi-function steering wheels of all models. In the patent image exposed this time, the steering wheel on the Tesla model has been turned into a touch screen. That is to say, the physical buttons on the left and right sides have been cancelled, and a touch screen is used to perform functions that can be operated on the steering wheel in the past. Including multimedia control, steering wheel adjustment, etc. In addition, the software system behind the screen will open different permissions according to whether the vehicle is in autonomous driving state. When the vehicle is autonomously driving, more operations are allowed, such as handwriting input and adjusting video playback.
In addition, in addition to the touch screens on the left and right sides, you can also see that a row of gear displays have been added under the steering wheel, and this is also part of the replacement of the current gear shifting method. Whether to use physical buttons or touch to shift gears was not mentioned in the information exposed this time.
Actually, many people still don’t like the touch button method because they often press the wrong button if they don’t turn around to look. The physical buttons know the approximate direction and then find the position through touch, making it less easy to press the wrong button. But as the times change, there are definitely more and more touch buttons, and the use of touch buttons on Tesla’s steering wheel is actually an innovation.
