Guys it’s been 8 months. It was a bad take.

    Wouldn’t it be constantly fluctuating between speeds one or two numbers apart? Unless your foot is magic or you’re in cruise control, lol. I feel like it could be distracting.

      You could make like a circular shape on the screen with numbers correlating to the speed on different angles. Then maybe add some rectangle which points at the current speed and effectively changes the angle when the speed changes.

      Oh wait…

      Digital speedos average the speed over the last (eg) second and when it changes will usually do some form of animation between digits. This way you don’t get constantly fluctuating numbers.

      As for analogue versus digital. It depends how you think of a speedo. If you think of it as a percentage of maximum then analogue is best (like a fuel gauge) but if you think of it as needing to know your ‘exact’ speed (like temperature) then digital is best.
