This is the future I want. That enourmous screen fits so well into the dash; it doesnt look tacked on as an after thought nor does it make the dash look bulky at all. I love flat bottom and flat top steering wheels in general, and I have to say, as a small person, I feel like I FIT better in cars that have implemented looking over as opposed to thru the steering wheel. The controls on the steering wheel that show you what they do on the screen thats near your eyes is epic tbh. Maybe it's because I'm a gamer, but that feels SO natural to me. Altho as a gamer, I'm not sure I would ever use my car as a game system, but I guess that's cool too. I despise having to control the airvents from an infotainment menu; let me just grab and move the vents please. But the moving vents seem like it would be a cool option, and in my own car where I could set it and forget it, maybe it wouldnt be too bad. And I think that applies to a lot of the info that these screens can give you; you're meant to choose your settings and then leave it, not be messing with it as you're driving down the road, so having to go into the infotainment menu to change whats on the big screen realistically probably isnt a problem.

It looks well-designed, and locating the screens so close to the windshield makes sense. Although I'm not sure the screens make driving any better than just having an instrument cluster, an infotainment screen, manual vents, and plenty of physical buttons.

But in the comment section of any modern car, especially electric, there's someone who can't stand that cars have any sort of computer or non-analog features.

If it seems great, let the bugs and kinks get worked out and the prices drop, then I’m all over it. I’m also a car guy. So, I’m always excited about when car tech advances (or seems like it will). I’m assuming dashboard length screens like this won’t become a thing. But, I like the idea of it. I think this is much better than a GIANT screen in the car extending down to roughly knee height like you see in a lot of modern designs. This is more like … a cheaper version of a massive heads up display. But, as cars get closer and closer to driving themselves (it’ll happen within our lifetime) things like this will matter less.

[@janoycresnova9156]

Half of that screen (passenger half) is totally useless. It's just for show. It's too far and too distracting for the driver to use. Passenger has no need for it anyways as they can't play any video while car is moving and they have 0 need to access car stats.

[@Zhenocnra]

Did Lincoln and Ford actually make use of the 48" screens for BlueCruise notifications? Is there a pillar to pillar length light bar that shows up green, red, and orange to properly notify drivers of what the system is doing? If it doesn't, that is a huge missed opportunity with the 48" screen. I prefer dedicated physical buttons for HVAC and seat climate controls. I also prefer manual air vent controls. The oscillating feature is definitely nice but for my body, I prefer either direct air flow or indirect air flow. Forcing a passenger to go into the screen to adjust their climate or air vents isn't something I like. I know the HVAC and climate settings are always at the bottom but physical buttons are always easier and safer to maneuver without having to look at a screen as a driver. How do the screens do in direct sunlight? I'm happy to see more screens and bigger screens. I'm also happy to see the dedicated shifter buttons instead of a stalk shifter (or worse, in-screen shifter like Tesla). A little disappointed they don't have air vents on the B pillar and only in the back of the center console.
