Today's driver is used to a heightened level of interactive features when it comes to technology and this car interface concept for Tesla's Model S satisfies those expectations. This particular car interface is essentially a built-in tablet boasting "responsive widgets that can be rearranged on a flexible grid," writes the design studio.
Conceived by Bureau Oberhaeuser, a Hamburg-based studio founded by Martin Oberhäuser, the Tesla car interface is further customizable in regards to the size of the widgets, their combination as well as the color coding system used to make them easier to find. User-friendly and well-designed, the Tesla car interface shows the direction the auto industry will eventually be moving in when it comes to the interior of such vehicles.
