MARANELLO, Italy — Chaos erupted on the test track today as a test driver was seen frantically searching for the brake pedal, only to realize it had been replaced by a ‘minimalist gesture’ on a touch surface. The $400,000 vehicle rolled slowly into a retaining wall while the driver waved his hands wildly at the floor mats.
“Physical pedals create visual noise,” said former Apple designer Jony Ive, speaking from a white void. “We removed the clutter of stopping mechanisms to ensure a pure emotional connection with the road.” This marks the first look at the interior of the Ferrari Luce, the company’s first all-electric supercar, which prioritizes sleek lines over the ability to not hit things.
“The user simply needs to learn the language of the car,” explained Francesca Speed, VP of Intuitive Motion. “To stop, you just pinch the dashboard with three fingers while winking your left eye. It is very intuitive.” Eyewitnesses reported seeing the driver trying to ‘swipe left’ on the steering column to engage the turn signal, which instead dimmed the ambient lighting to ‘Romance Mode’ immediately before impact.
At press time, Ferrari announced they are removing the windshield to provide a “more direct connection” to the wind.
Inspired by the real story: Ferrari hired Jony Ive to design the interior of its first EV, suggesting a very minimalist look is coming. Read the full story.
