Proper Ergonomics

Convenient placement and logical arrangement of controls in a car or truck's cabin is an important, yet often overlooked, safety feature.

A truck's sound system may reproduce music that's the next best thing to a live performance, but if the system's controls are so tiny that you need bifocals to find them, they're a detriment to safety.

Clear vision from inside the vehicle would seem to be an obvious given in the design. Yet all too often window size and placement is dictated more by style than by function.
