Audi Introduces the Virtual Cockpit features, this superiority

German car manufacturer, Audi, offers advanced features in a new variant to realize the experience of playing video games in the car. That feature is called virtual cockpit-becoming a common feature in all cars in the not long to live.

In the latest features, there will be no speedometer, tachometer, various gauges, and a pointer. There is only a 12.3-inch LCD screen that will accommodate all devices in the form of an animated virtual cockpit.

High-resolution screen, which light up behind the wheel and will be in line with the driver's vision, can be programmed to display multiple functions, ie, navigation, phone, radio and media, as well as data traffic.

By combining everything in one screen, including measuring speed, engine revolutions, temperature outside, and measuring gasoline, will allow the driver to drive his vehicle up to the level of safety for the better.

But Paul Green, a research professor at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, expressed concern over the Audi creation features. The problem is that drivers no longer dynamic driving, while the driver can not at any time adjust the virtual system. "Like when you watch a movie, everything is added in seconds. There the problem," he said.

 Responding to these criticisms, Audi said the main purpose in designing the virtual cockpit is simplicity.

"If you look at the virtual cockpit and see something different, we have failed," said Justin Goduto, a spokesman for Audi, as reported by the NY Times on May 23, 2016.

Goduto said on-screen display menu is designed to allow access to all of the items with a single click on the button located on the steering wheel. So, according to him, it would not trouble the driver or dangers.

Currently Audi Virtual Cockpit 1.0 has been available in the latest series Audi Q7 sport utility vehicle in 2016, the sports car R8, TT, 2016 and 2017 A4.

Heart virtual cockpit is a powerful computer processor Nvidia creation. The virtual company also plans to soon conduct cooperation with Tesla, Honda, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz.
