  1. Of the listed concepts, I voted for the most recent (Mercedes CLK).

    I did like the larger screens with more refined presentations of graphics/information. I did not like all the hard buttons, there were too many. If it's a hard button, it should be worth memorizing the location+function to be toggled when driving without looking.

    So my heart was split between the CLK demo, and the Bentley demo which had the genius hybrid physical dials/buttons (rear DLP, optical encoder) that could be designated on the fly to fulfill the relevant context.

    The Audi FPK demo posted to the QNX youtube channel represents a nice progression of synthesis between hardware and software.

    It's obvious that you can do more (more information, more controls) with less (fewer buttons, fewer single purpose hardware components). The challenge and marker of successful implementations is making all of this easier, so that it gets used.

    1. Good points, Johnny. Especially agree with your last one. You've got make it easy -- and, as it turns out, that can be very hard to do. :-)
