We're going to see increased information density in automotive and the digital dash it he only way we'll be able to properly handle this increased density. In someways it will be like going from flip phones to smartphones. In the early days it seemed silly, but now you're silly if you only want a flip phone.

For instance, car to car communication could have a situation where we can be seeing more accurate date about cars near us and not be limited purely to the approximations that we have now.

This is a tough one for me...

I get what your saying but I still feel the digital dash is imitating analog.

When the digital dash is off it looks out of place.

As an aside I still have not warmed up to Apple Watch

Give me an updated analog dash and put the tech somewhere I don't have to interact with it.
