The German luxury brand wanted to show off the interior of the Mercedes Benz EQS, ahead of the car’s April 15 debut.
We’ve seen glimpses of the huge screen before, but this is the first time we’ve seen it in its natural habitat: embedded in the dashboard.
With several screens combined to cover 56 inches of digital real estate, the entire instrument panel becomes a screen.
Passengers have a total of 2.6 square feet of the Hyperscreen’s curved glass construction to look at.
With its lovely white upholstery, dark wood grain, and mood lighting that emanates from various crevices inside the Mercedes Benz EQS, the interior looks the part.
In terms of the monitor, the driver has a digital gauge cluster in front of them, with a large central infotainment screen in the centre.
The rider, too, has a screen to fiddle with that mirrors many of the functions of the center screen.
Hopefully, owners will set some limits on the passenger screen, or else this configuration will completely change what backseat drivers can do.
Sound waves are pumped into a 15-speaker, 710-watt Burmester sound system when music is turned on. There are also massage seats available.
Mercedes Benz claims to use a “zero layer” ethos when it comes to menu navigation.
In other words, you won’t have to scroll through a single menu to find the control you want, because anything you need is already visible on the screen.
This includes buttons for digital climate control.
Each control area contains a precisely tuned haptic touch point that simulates the feel of a physical button and aids in determining whether a control has been activated or not.
If you push harder or softer on the screen, force feedback will alter the role of a control.
Built-in artificial intelligence, according to Mercedes-Benz, makes the Hyperscreen extremely smart, particularly when paired with a compatible smartwatch.
The car will adapt the EQS’ driving tone, activate the “Energizing Coach” with suggestions, and provide a desired menu at the right time using 350 sensors.
Silver Waves and Vivid Flux are two factory soundscapes that will be included with the car.
They’re optional and can be disabled through the Hyperscreen, but it’s always interesting to hear how automakers make electric cars look.
