The look of the graphics and fonts is quintessential Ive, although some management panels appear extra crowded than you anticipate. Ferrari’s announcement of a documentary concerning the Luce states that Ive was concerned in “key interface elements,” but it surely’s not clear to what extent he was concerned.
Did he solely design the software program UI? Or did he have enter into the {hardware}, such because the steering meeting, or the (very cool) key dock and the (additionally very cool) overhead management panel?

It appears like most of the concepts Ive had for the Apple Automotive have been delivered to life, due to Ferrari.
