True. I know it's just a concept but slapping a tablet over the center console and a couple screens in the headrest? They did that on Pimp My Ride 10 years ago. They could have at least embedded it in the slope.

Not a fan of the Tesla (Big *** touchscreen) look. I have a smaller touchscreen in my daily driver and it's simply a pain to use touchscreens in moving vehicles. Every time you hit a bump your hand moves. Very distracting and nearly dangerous. Car controls should all be using some combo of tactile feedback and big screens or HUD. The operator shouldn't have to extend their arm and hit a tiny little spot to take an action in a moving car.

Save the big touchscreens for when we're in a Google self driving car.

The digital representation that emulates our gauges looks like cheap crap!

I agree with this entirely. If I can't intuit where a button or control is by proximity then feel, I'm not going to use it until I come to a complete stop.

I'd rather have a great ergonomic layout with quality materials and feedback than a flashy touchscreen.

Not a fan of screens either, especially in a car like AM...it detracts from the unique and classy character these cars have. As for rear seat entertainment, this seems like a much better option when in a Rapide

It definitely looked out of place. The center console just didn't look right. Saw it in person and talked to the head for a little while today at ces
