Check out picture number 17. It is a tv screen that plays dvd's. The dvd player itself is somewhere else so you load in the dvd there. But the tv screen does not fold in and I'm assuming it doesn't turn off when the handbrake is off because I'm assuming the screen can be used for other car features too like radio tuner.
Does anyone have or know someone with a car with a tv screen built into the dash?
It is very likely the computer in the Porshe will be configured to disable the screen when driving. You know those stupid warnings on sun visors, manufacturers can (in some countries) be held liable for anything so they need to add such limitations.
A couple in the US crashed a rental camper van while making tea, they thought cruise control means you don't have to drive it...
why i don't know, we haven't got that sort of tech installed yet, computer programing and hardware is capable of driving for you, right up to the point of not letting you hit anything? look at all the lives that could be saved, its like there is a higher authority over seeing what can be introduced into public, maybe they are trying to slow the population down.
