Potential essay plan

"How graphic design in electric vehicle interfaces can catalyse the transition to sustainable transport" 


Intro: 
The state of vehicles globally; sales, global vehicle refresh rate, advancement of cars over the years, the battle of ICE vs Electric, the recent proliferation of EVs, why the quality of and interaction with EVs helps catalyse their proliferation, how driverless infrastructures affects the need for interfaces/their purpose

Point 1: 
Analysis of ICE car interfaces, difference of interfaces according to vehicle purpose/cost, current EV interfaces, what is done right, purpose behind certain things, common functionalities, what is done wrong/inefficiently 

Point 2:
Best case interfaces, why they're good, why they work, typefaces for UI design, colours, layout etc, how instrumental interfaces are in the experience, how good interaction and the positive experience influences peoples' decision to purchase a car, how the design of interfaces works alongside vehicle design/interior design/graphic design

Point 3:
Overview of what makes interfaces in cars successful and how they could adapt/be improved by the electric, autonomous future. How interfaces have had a direct and positive impact on people's decision to buy EVs. 

Conclusion 
How can interfaces catalyse the transition?
