Insights into the Future of Car Design from “Designing Apps For Cars”

Have you read Lucas Haas’ book, “Designing Apps For Cars”? This book succinctly encapsulates the necessary knowledge for anyone interested in learning about mobile apps and HMI design for cars.

One chapter that particularly stands out is “There’s an app for that”, which presents user experiences. The challenges of service inadequacies and inconsistency outlined in this chapter highlight critical issues in contemporary vehicle design. Lucas’ proposed solutions and thorough discussions on design principles, human psychology, accessibility, and branding serve as valuable guidance for overcoming these issues.

Having worked in the fields of web, app, and automotive design myself, this book offered new perspectives to me. The detailed explanations on onboarding and error handling, as well as the discussion on privacy, were refreshing. Moreover, I greatly appreciated the mention of infotainment, a personal research interest of mine.

This book provides keys to understanding the future of cars, not only for design professionals but also for general readers. In a modern society where the fusion of cars and technology is advancing, these perspectives and knowledge are becoming increasingly important.

I highly recommend reading “Designing Apps For Cars” for fresh perspectives and insights.
