The headline wasn't written by Volvo.

Does the font improve safety and is that the motivation, or not?

There are comments here like "They should instead focus on their overall software stability and usability", and spankalee is correctly pointing out that it's a false dichotomy.

I think the font looks lovely. Great touches.

I have a Volvo with Android Automotive. And I think touchscreens in cars are trash, and Android particularly so; the latency is horrendous, the rear-view camera only works 50% of the time, everything just feels like the cheapest trash Android tablet from a decade ago.

I really wish this car just had physical controls and a double-din Carplay deck from Pioneer or whatever, the experience would be so much better.

I honestly believe I'm going to get into an accident in a parking lot due to the horrendous sight lines and unreliable camera.
