Near-future Car Interface Technology - Mitsubishi EMIRAI #DigInfo
The Japanese manufacturers always try to one up each other when bringing concepts to their home show, the Tokyo Motor Show.
This year, Mitsubishi's Electric division brought an incredible concept of their vision for the car interior of the future.
The EMIRAI Concept uses rear projection screens that surround the driver with data, a safety system that uses biometrics to monitor vitals, and a unique steering wheel with buttons that only appear when they are needed. An additional panel allows control of some functions through text input.
Mitsubishi did not forget the rear passengers either. There are 3D screens in the back of the seats that do not require glasses to keep passengers entertained on a longer journey.
It is expected that this technology could appear in mass produced cars in as little as ten years.
