The AR camera is cool. But you know where else you can see where you are going, in HD? The windshield.

[@russellf4285]

I think it will be very useful with the navigation overlap as shown.. but by itself I agree

[@geoffmooregm]

I think the idea is to see directly in front of you below the hood line. That way you don't run over your own dog 😬 when you drive away. Then when driving you get the navigation overlay.

Shouldve gone with one like the navigator has and gain storage space up front. The one on the tahoe and yukon look really cheap compared to lincoln’s setup

The OLED screens are cool but I'm very skeptical about longevity. OLED's are known for burn in, happens a lot with smartphones after a year or two. Should have just stuck with LCD's. Still a very nice looking vehicle though, great video Tommy!

[@tevinabeysekera6038]

The parts of the screen that will probably burn in are the areas the image stays the longest. In the amount of time something takes to burn-in, the driver would have set up their preferred layout and it will not matter that much.

[@7891ph]

That dashboard is a potential lawsuit looking for the location of the crash.

[@htpcnz7378]

@2:28 that's seriously cool having AR GPS built in, Sygic is the only third party navigation software that I'm aware of doing GPS overlays on camera output in tablet/phones currently.

[@AdvancedUSA]

At night there's a spotlight that illuminates the pavement where you need to "kick" in order to open the tailgate. In general it's a pain in the ass. I've had mine try to close while I'm loading things in the back because I put my foot in the wrong place and it's hard to find in daylight.

Great effort from Cadillac, but the Navigator is still ahead IMO; specially in the interior. The tech here is great but the Lincoln's interior has a more cohesive atmosphere, plus they're not that far behind tech-wise, not to mention the Navigator is cheaper (slightly).
