And as an automotive designer, you want each and every one of your vehicles to give drivers and passengers a riding experience just short of nirvana. Passengers in a car that is shared by multiple drivers, though, could likely operate the sunroof two to four times more than that.

The need for advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) features, like back up cameras and lane departure warnings as standard safety components, is clear.

For instance, it can’t distract the driver’s view and the dash can’t reflect onto the windscreen. And at night, the soft glow of the dials and switches must be subdued to ensure a driver’s attention isn’t diverted from the road. As more technology is included in vehicles, colors will be one of the tools designers reach for to help drivers easily locate new gadgetry.
