[Rejected] SDL 0066 - Steering wheel location #191
Comments
While I don't think included this information into the RPC spec is a bad idea, I don't beleive it correctly solves the problem it's set out to handle.
As you reference in the motivation section, the problem is actually that app developers would like to know where the head unit is located in respect to the driver. Merely stating steering wheel position doesn't give the app develop 100% certainty on that information. For example, I believe the better solution to this problem would be providing infotainment system location relative to the primary user, in most cases the driver. |
I have concerns about this proposal:

@joeygrover that's a good point. The issue we would want to solve expects the head unit to be centered. Still the information of the steering wheel location is properly delivered to the app. Right? Rather than the relative position we should provide the head unit position as well. This way an app knows the steering wheel location and the relative position to the driver. This could be added in another proposal. @joeljfischer regarding 1. and 2. I wrote the proposal from the app developers perspective in some sort of pseudo code. Not in json. Of course Regarding 3. I disagree to an automatic handling from the core side. The abstraction of UI related RPCs (e.g. the proposed view manager for Android) could provide automatic template selection but the app should be able to override it. Anyhow this would be not in scope of this proposal. |
The Steering Committee is returning for revisions due to the proposal not completely solving the problem it was set out to solve. Revisions will include considering other use cases, multiple steering wheels, location of primary user in relation to screen, etc. |
The author has advised that they are not planning to move forward with this proposal and requested that it be rejected. The Steering Committee agreed to reject, based on the author's recommendation. |
