The driver A/C is currently depicted as very inefficient, only appearing to contribute slightly to the overall vehicle temperature (Cabinair_Temp). We should somehow emphasize the fact that Cabinair_Temp refers to the entirety of the vehicle's volume; and that the driver A/C does have a significant effect, but that effect should be considered "constrained" to the volume of the driver's cubicle. An interesting way to achieve those would be by maintaining two independent thermometer + hygrometer pairs: One for the driver cubicle and another for the remainder of the vehicle.
Notes:
The driver cubicle and passenger area would be treated as (partially) isolated from one another. Cubicle temperature and humidity would be influenced by the driver window and driver A/C. Passenger area temperature and humidity would be influenced by folding passenger windows, hatches, doors, cabin heaters, the passenger A/C, and heat exchange with the engine chamber. Heat (conductive, convective) and humidity transfer between the two parts would still occur.
The VDV display and/or other instruments would be enabled to display at least both local temperatures.
What would we be assigning to Cabinair_Temp and Cabinair_absHum? What are the implications (e.g. for AI behavior)?
Any non-CSB-specific changes would be pushed back into UCHill.
