"The screen can be a source of distraction, which is why its location is so important. That's why the next generation of displays will prioritize safety, so as to minimize discomfort in peripheral vision.", Marc Pinel.
Unveiled to the public at the 2024 Paris Motor Show, Renault Emblème features a elegant curved openR panorama screen. Measuring 1.2 m long and 12 cm high, it stretches the entire length of the dashboard. Its 48-inch diagonal display in 8K quality offers an unprecedented multimedia experience. Both driver and passenger can benefit from both shared and dedicated information. Highly intuitive, operation of most functions is via a second touchscreen located on the center console, and a single rotary knob complemented by controls on the steering wheel. The applications available on the second screen appear in the form of tiles (navigation, multimedia, Safety Coach, MyCar, etc.), which you simply slide up to display on the upper screen.
For the future, the location of the touch screen is a key challenge. It requires constant adaptation of form, digital evolution, and user experience, in an optimal and secure way.
The future of our cockpits lies in a perpetual quest for innovation, adaptation, and safety, in the service of an ever more ergonomic, fluid, and intuitive driving experience. A critical analysis of our current concepts prompts us to look to the future with lucidity: perhaps one day, concealing screens will become necessary to reconcile accessibility and discretion.
