It's great to see such young people able to explain such complex concepts. We'll done Lenard! The people are obviously the main strength of the Rimac company. Also the shirt is nice 👌

[@morkovija]

Thanks for answering my question! Was blown away the other day in Stockholm by seeing camera side mirrors on some new Audi parked on the street.

[@datogadelia]

thanks you for this videos, very well done. wish you success

[@elmosorgasmicmemes3243]

Big Fan of Rimac! Hoping to buy a Concept Two when I’m old enough and have the money lol

[@anantmehrotra4868]

Really nice lookout on the advertisement being done just like on KZbin and if you are not a premium member - sulk up!

Hi Luka , which tool or framework do you use to design HMI screens for automotive and which OS is supported to develop it for implementation. Yes Figma is good for prototyping and design reviews, but for actual development what tool or framework do you use? Thanks

[@daftman6247]

Hi everyone, I don't know where to ask the questions for the "Ask to Engineers" topic so I try here. Can you describe the process used for the brake system sizing? and what tools do you use?

[@avatr7109]

DO we need a Degree to enter this field ? Like i already use Blender and figma but for web.

[@chromefirefox8896]

Has there been improvements in terms of battery safety? From what I researched the C1 burned for five days! that is very scary.

[@simbada2548]

hallo, super ste, volim vasu energiju, tako dalje. imate neki link za vase konkretne produkte? postoji negdje mogucnost vas auto se pogledati? puno pozdrava

[@pathfinder.george]

Love this series and this looked like a great episode for someone passionate about UX like me, but I felt it was more like "how to say pretty much nothing in 9 minutes".

[@askvic611]

Exactly, sadly the industry is full of it 🙄

[@avatr7109]

I didnt understand ...Figma is for webdesigning right? so how do we do it in Automobile? is it like the Dashboard Touch panel we see in TESLA???? and nowadays many more cars? how do they you you guys design interiors Seats , etc?

[@kiranrajmuthuraj4112]

Please, make next video with Mr. Gerhard Vosloo (Vehicle dynamics engineer). My dream job is to become a Vehicle dynamics engineer, I would like to know what it takes to be a vehicle dynamics engineer at Rimac and what skill should a fresh mechanical engineering graduates needs to equip themselves with ?

[@chittaranjandas7706]

Rimac is a best acceleration car

[@Robert-Cinque777]

Interesting to see it go up against a lotus evija

[@beaviccoon470]

I think this might get the lotus at the start but after that the lotus might real the Rimac in until about 200mph and at that point the Rimac will blast off and won't look back. That's my guess anyways.

[@MikesTropicalTech]

Could you please give the name or links to the tools you mentioned - I can't catch the name and the CC is not accurate. Thanks.

[@je8277]

Figma, Axure RP, Unity, Blender

I have a Question , right now I am taking my masters in automative software engineering . Can I find jobs as a ux/ui automative design ?

[@gayealisir5661]

There was a German car whose shift knob was confusing as to what was a reverse and drive. The dude died when drove onto oncoming traffic because he thought he was backing up.

RIMAC buying Bugatti??

[@beaviccoon470]

I think they are, the deal is said to be done by the end of 2020 and once that happens then there's no more W16. I'm quite interested to see what Rimac does with Bugatti.

[@r7rahuls]

I actually don't want fully autonomous cars..... because driving a supercar is actually a next level feeling

[@icavir]

Why are you planning to produce only 150 cars? Is not just you I see this with all hypercars. You spend 5 years in developing the car and I don't know how many millions of Euros and then only 150 examples. Is that the limit of the demand? Is not worth it to produce more than 150? Btw you are doing incredible job, continue like that.

[@gayealisir5661]

The driving experience should be focused. Overcomplicated screen are deadly when the driver has to make split second decisions. Franky, I think that analogue knobs to be more intuitive. I heard that you need to speak or navigate a touchscreen to open a tesla glove box. That is so unnecessary when a latch has been doing this for decades. Tried and true methods are better than "innovative" and contrarian concepts. More electronics equals more chances for failure also. But this is just my opinion. I am not sure what the masses think. All these answers can be figured out through research.

[@vigneshwaranr8301]

Fact: Infotainment is not fully responsive. HMI development involves c++ mostly

[@archae108]

If I can trust Linux to run a 2.5 million dollar hypercar and keep it operational even in the toughest conditions, I can definitely trust Linux to game at 4K 60FPS.

As an option,why not? 🤷‍♂️

@@joebeus6886 why i really people want to drive themselves with some tech. Help

[@fiditenemini2452]

[@tyiffpeijc8702]

I think for people who don't like to drive (apparently many/most people) it would be good, but obviously for people who like driving, control should be left for the driver. I would hate to live in a world where all cars are autonomous (I love driving), so at most it should be an option, never a default.

[@allensaunders449]

@@tyiffpeijc8702 i agree i love to drive. Maybe in some very crowded city centers autonomous could be a positive thing

What if (when) Hydrogen become a cheap? Do you have a plan B, because one day batteries can go to garbage only!

[@jetnavigator]

The sooner the touch screen fad dies the better. Tesla is awful, without any buttons. The tactile feedback of quality buttons and switches is part of a car's character and quality. Being able to reach a well designed button layout without having to look is another sign of quality, not to mention saftey design. If I want to use an ipad, I will use an ipad - that's not a driving experience. That said, taking an ipad is the better choice over in-car software, which is instantly dated and rarely updated. Rimac will never have the software teams of google and apple and can never compete in this area. Having primary controls via well, ergonomically designed knobs, buttons and switches sets the tone of the vehicle, PLUS a slot for a screen device for those who, for some reason, want to buy a supercar but want to watch netflix in it (ie nobody)...

[@tyiffpeijc8702]
