汽车屏幕是否代表奢华？从最新的汽车内饰来看，答案似乎是一个响亮的“是”。屏幕不仅尺寸更大，而且在仪表盘上数量不断增加，并且呈现出不同的形态和概念。事实上，内饰屏幕是判断汽车品牌或至少车主支付了多少费用的一个相当好的指标。
Do screens in cars represent luxury? Judging by the latest car interiors, the answer would seem to be an emphatic “yes.”Screens aren't just getting larger; they are multiplying across the dashboard and morphing into different forms and concepts. Indeed, an interior’s screens are a pretty good indicator of what brand made the car—or at least how much the owner paid for it.
但这真的符合客户需求吗？更多的屏幕真的更好吗？即使是这样，豪华车的功能也不可避免地会渗透到更便宜、更主流的车型中，而屏幕的尺寸也只能有限。于是豪华汽车制造商面临另一个问题：“下一步是什么？”梅赛德斯-奔驰正在研发一种新的显示替代方案，可能会给出答案。现在它被称为全息显示。别想象星际迷航或星球大战中的图像，实际上它是一种更先进的抬头显示（HUD）形式。
But is this actually what customers want? Are more screens really better? And even if they are, luxury car features inevitably trickle down to cheaper, more mainstream offerings, and screens can only get so big. That leaves luxury automakers with another question to answer: “What’s next?”Mercedes-Benz is working on a new display alternative that could provide an answer. For now, it's known as the holographic display. Forget the images from Star Trek and Star Wars that just popped into your head, though. It's effectively a more advanced form of heads-up display, or HUD.
