Scott LairdThis is fine. #Rivian
Dr.Implausible@laird Given the post, it reminds me of a question I've meant to ask: Are there any aftermarket back* mods for newer cars that would rip out the iPad a/o touchscreen and put in a useful, tactile, physical interface?
@drimplausible Almost certainly not in this case. *Everything* depends on the center screen (you can't aim the air vents without it!), and they push out updates every couple weeks with new features. So staying compatible would be a disaster.
adamrice@laird @drimplausible There are specialized input devices like the Streamdeck that can trigger computer macros. It seems like in principle, you could rig up something like that as an adjunct to a screen-based interface, as long as you had A) the right physical connection, and B) could trigger the right system events. Would no doubt take some hardware and software hacking, and the manufacturer would probably be unhappy with you.
