At last , someone in the auto industry gets it veracious . Instead of using awkward wheels or joysticks , like theMercedes ’s MyCommandor theBMW iDrive , the new Audi MMI touch organization just uses a touchpad for some lineal finger’s breadth - drawing action mechanism .

While other systems require the driver to focus away from the road — either by pick out letters from dateless menus or on a touchscreen keyboard — the new Audi MMI touch allows for unsighted typewriting : The number one wood just writes by nature with a fingerbreadth on the touchpad . The launch area is strategically locate next to the steerage wheel and in front of the geared wheel shift , so the written material can be done in a comfortable situation , without having to concenter on any screen .
The MMI system — which recognizes Latin , Cyrillic , Chinese , Cantonese , Japanese , and Korean characters — also has a rotary pushbutton for old school citizenry , as well as voice restraint , but only the touch organization permit the number one wood to enter commands while talk on the cellphone or playing euphony . You make ta love those Audi smartypants . [ AutospiesandJalopnik ]
