However, not all of these screens and interfaces are created equal. Each manufacturer has its own take on buttons, knobs and controls -- and their location. The size of the screen is important, but so is the operating speed and the ease with which a driver can change radio stations or lower the volume without looking away from the road.
With those parameters in mind, plus some other objective standards, here are five of our favourite infotainment screens in cars today:Uvo is available in a number of Hyundai and Kia products and it's one of our favourite-yet-simple systems. One particularly good example of the Uvo system can be found in the Hyundai Kona. The system may not be particularly flashy or visually impressive, but the screen is easy to see and understand while the controls sit easily at hand.
Without pressing any buttons, a driver can simply say "Hey, Mercedes" and then say a command. This means no searching for buttons or taking your hands off the wheel to accomplish a task. On top of that, voice commands can be as specific or vague as you'd like, ranging from "Hey Mercedes, tune to XM Channel 34," which is as direct as it gets, to "Hey Mercedes, I'm a bit cold." The car will then turn up the temperature a few degrees.
Fun fact: pedestrian deaths are rising fast and ctvnews is giving free advertising to one of the main reasons. VisionZero
