Modern dashboards are deliberately absurd. They are not ergonomic at all. Now they look like a fucking videogame with shitloads of useless data flashing, instead of what you really need to see. It's impossible to switch to the classic dashboard, so you are forced to see all the fucking animations that distract you from driving. The designers can't be this fucking stupid. They are making these absurd dashboards deliberately.

Those things are all important, and all of these things can also be logged. Why has no OEM thought about letting drivers access their logs? Race car drivers depends on data traces to see things and gain insights, why are normal folks excluded from this? It could actually be fun to create an algorithm that breaks down a driver's habits into categories in order to help make them better drivers. But they don't need this information while they're driving.

Make it optional for users and watch how they willingly change their behavior to fit their intentions. Think of what that data could be worth to big tech, OEM's could have a nice leverage point with valuable driving data. It almost pays for itself.

Put a button that lets drivers start a log, press it again to turn off the log, then drivers can look at all the data that's relevant to them in real time, or saved so they can analyze it later when they don't have to drive in traffic. Cars have so many empty buttons that there's plenty of real estate.
