Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature is one of the most disputed settings on a shared journey. Passengers differ in what they find pleasant because clothing, seating position and individual sensitivity to draughts are never quite the same.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Knowing where the instrument readouts and mirror adjusters sit is part of getting ready to travel. Time spent on this beforehand means the layout is already known, rather than something to work out while under way.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Hands-free calling is the usual expectation on a long trip, letting a conversation continue without handling the device. If such a function is present, its usefulness depends on clear microphone placement and cabin noise.
