Autonomous driving technology is rapidly advancing, and one area that has been particularly focused on is the development of dashboard displays or "screens" that will be used in future cars.
As reported by Reuters, the use of in-car displays is set to increase as automakers race to develop the latest autonomous driving technology. Many manufacturers are investing heavily in developing technology that will allow drivers to keep their eyes on the road while the car takes care of the driving.
One of the key challenges facing automakers is how to provide drivers with the necessary information while ensuring that it is displayed in a clear and easy-to-use format. Dashboard displays are seen as a key solution to this problem, as they can be used to display a range of information, including speed, navigation instructions, and the driver‘s safety settings.
In recent years, many automakers have been testing dashboard displays in prototype cars. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, several companies, including General Motors, Tesla, and Ford, have been testing self-driving cars equipped with high-definition displays that can be used to display information to the driver.
Automakers are also exploring the use of virtual displays, which can be projected onto the windscreen of the car, providing a more immersive experience for the driver. These displays can be used to display information such as navigation routes, speed limits, and other relevant information.
However, the use of in-car displays is not without its challenges. Some experts have warned that the use of displays can distract drivers, particularly when the car is operating autonomously. As a result, automakers are working to develop technology that will automatically dim or turn off the display when the car is not under manual control.
Overall, the development of in-car displays is seen as a key component of the shift towards autonomous driving technology. With many automakers investing heavily in the development of these displays, it is likely that we will see a growing number of cars equipped with them in the years to come.
