Umm, did you listen to what your mother told you? Perhaps it is an age-related comprehension deficiency - when you get to be her age, you might be able to understand what she told you.I think maybe you need an eye exam and a new set of glasses. If I couldn’t see the clock I’d go see an optometrist. Not an insult to you. Just thinking maybe you need an updated lens. My mother won’t get a new car cause she would need her reading glasses for the screens and driving glasses for the road.
One focal length is needed for distant objects - those that are external to the car - other cars and signs, etc. A different focal length is needed for the screen in front of the driver. And then there's the clock on the far end of the center screen, which is at a different focal length.
There are also variable real-world lighting issues - external sun glare, sun glare on screens, sunglass wearing (I wear clip-on polarized sunglasses over my prescription glasses) - larger (and heavier) fonts would help to mitigate these variable lighting issues.
Rivian seems obsessed with keeping a huge amount of white space on the driver's screen... and with using much of that display for displaying shapes of cars that I can already clearly see (to the left, right, or to the front).
I want bigger fonts - especially for warning messages, and for the clock display, and for for the percentage of charge.
You do know that Tesla was recently required to issue a "recall" (OTA) because their warning messages were in too small a font. Rivian could get ahead of the curve, now, rather than waiting for NHTSA to get involved.
