It Looks Like The Days Of Analog Instruments In Cars Is Over,

if the new Audi Virtual Cockpit has it's way,


it is a high-resolution digital instrument cluster set to make its debut in the 2015 Audi TT, the default mode ('classic view', in Audi-speak) presents a familiar scene of traditional round gauges with white numerals and red pointers, a quick press of the 'View' button on the steering wheel fast-forwards car and driver into the future, to what Audi calls 'infotainment mode'

the speedometer and tach shrink down and splay out to the corners of the display: still visible but not overly so, taking their place front & centre in the 12.3-inch, 1440 x 540 TFT multi-purpose display panel are a host of high-resolution graphics highlighting a wealth of navigation and communication info, so I guess we will all as Audi's technology spreads through the industry, be seeing a major change in the way we view our dashboards.
