I think the virtual gauges are fine, or at least, they CAN be.
The Land Rover is not the only one who collapses all of the possible values into three. I can't figure out why they would do that.
I'm glad car makers are rethinking the controls. I think it's a serious matter that should be regulated if the industry doesn't give back a few controls. Imagine operating the windshield wipers with a touch screen. That's how the Tesla was until recently. Tesla sends frequent software updates, and a recent one gave windshield wiper control to a steering wheel scroll wheel. OK now I don't have to take my hands off the wheel, but I still have to read a menu to operate it. Still not good enough.
