Ring Ring... Oh it's my phone; no it's my car...

Car manufacturer Ford has a new proposal to re-design the dashboard of their new Ford cars in the form of a mobile phone, yes. Mobile phone!

Collaborating with a design firm named 'Ideo' they have put together a new design proposal based on the extremely successful ipod and TV remote design.

The new dashboard layout will feature a controller with central button on the steering wheel with five points, easily operated by the driver’s hands whilst they drive, not distracting them from the drive.

There is also a screen in the main central display that will be eight inches of colours; yellow for the phone display, green for navigating the car, blue for operating the climatic control and red for all of the entertainment features.

Although not in the production stages and not currently available at my Ford Sussex retailer, the new look dashboards for new Ford cars are set to be an innovative new feature in the design and automotive world not to be missed.
