#CES2018: Are All Of These Screens Getting Out Of Control?

The screens are out of control in the cars of CES 2018. They’re everywhere—draped across your whole dashboard, in your steering wheel, in place of the moonroof above your head. They provide information, data, entertainment, and—the word of the year in mobility circles—connectivity. It’s a good bet that next year screens will be embedded in retractable sunshades that can cover a whole window. Why not? After all, that’s the point of OLED screens—they can be draped over stuff or spooled up until desired.

Give me analog dials for vehicle information (rpm, speed, etc) and screens for infortainment. All screen dashboards lack character, are visually flat lacking depth, and look cheap. Just my point of view...

They are of no interest to me as a driver. They should take inspiration from the McLaren 720S and be able to minimize or like the new Bentley Continental GT, make them completely disappear.

Just how much information does a driver need to have to drive the car? Do you really need to know the inside and outside temperature of the car next to you?

Does anyone really pay attention to those ECONOMY helpers that attempt to train you to drive like you are 90 with limited vision!

In fact - I never really had a problem with a speedometer - that I needed a Heads up display on my windshield as well.

Gotta monetize on those captive eyeballs...

CableTV companies are missing out.

Yes, there is such a thing as too many! HUD on top of all those displays will actually be tiring to the eyes in my experience. I am sure you can turn some or most off though so that would solve the issue for most people I predict.
