Chinese startup Byton said its M-Byte electric crossover is "ready for the digital age" with its 48-inch display screen that extends right across the car's cockpit.
The display is integrated into the dashboard and can be used in split-screen mode with three separate areas of content.
The wide display is the largest of its type in a production car and was designed for to be ready for shared mobility and assisted driving, Byton said in a statement.
The driver can use the display with a 7-inch tablet in the center of the steering wheel, while the front seat passenger can use the screen with an 8-inch tablet.
The interface will enhance the M-Byte's appeal in today's world where cars are getting more driver assistance features and people spend more time in their vehicles, Byton says.
"We want to help people use the time they spend in their car," Byton Chief Technical Officer David Twohig told Automotive News Europe.
The interface recognizes faces and the natural speech and can be activated by hand movements, touch or by a small number of buttons.
In addition, the front seats can be turned inwards to "create a communicative space for the passengers," said Twohig, a former Renault executive who led development of the automaker's Alpine A100 sports car and the Zoe small battery-powered hatchback.
Although the M-Byte currently only supports Level 2 autonomous driving that covers features such as adaptive cruise control and steering and brake assistance, the M-Byte was designed to be ready for more advanced self-driving technology.
