LA AUTO SHOW: The Wave Of the Future? Is Audi Showing Us The Way With Their Latest MMI Interface?

Blending functionality with ease of use is a difficult prospect at best.  You only have to ask the engineers over at BMW with their overly complicated iDrive media interface. You would be hard pressed to find review out there that didn't criticize the design.

Now take a look at the Audi MMI interface in the new A7 and you see what I mean.  If you didn't need it then you might never know is was there at all.  But once you press the button, out slides a well hidden screen and you are off to adjust a myriad of functions.

Need to control that simply awesome Bang and Olfusen sound system? It is there at a touch.  Need to see where the heck you are? Simply call up the NAV and you can find that out. Make a phone call?  All just so simple.

All of the time the interface is so simple and intuitive you can keep you eyes on the road, not the screen.  The wave of the future is ease of use not complexity.
