Cars
of the future are set to get rid of traditional controls like buttons
and switches and have a touchscreen smartphone for your driving comfort
and overall safety.
Back-seat passengers will have the touchscreen to control automotive accessories such as air-conditioning, infotainment and navigation.
This will not distract drivers, media reports said. Towards this, luxury car maker Bentley has come up with a slick remote control which whirrs up from the rear of the centre console.
The device, the size of a cigarette packet, is fitted with a touchscreen. It manages audio-visual equipment like twin TV screens, a navigation system, a stereo and even a fridge.
The remote also allows passengers to configure the seats and adjust interior temperature. This kind of control will soon pass on to cheaper cars, reports added. Using the car's Wi-Fi, the tablet will let passengers surf the internet as well as interact with the infotainment system.
Audi has gone a step further. It has come up with an Audi-brand tablet: a 10.2-inch display introduced as a remote control for a range of vehicle functions.
The tablet gives occupants access to the web, media and navigation systems as well as control over the radio, reports added.
