Cadillac teases new concept dash

Cadillac has released a teaser video of a new OLED concept dash that is set to be revealed at the upcoming Pebble Beach Concours. The concept dash makes use of high-definition light-emitting diode technology and will inspire the systems of future Cadillac models. The carmaker hasn’t revealed what model will get the concept dash first, though.

Developed with technology specialist LG Electronics, the system features several curved OLED screens that display driving data, infotainment and other information, thereby enabling the removal of dials and gauges from the car’s dashboard. As shown in the video, it will be able to link to a user's calendar, presumably through their smartphone or a direct internet connection, to offer journey and schedule information while on the go. There are also 3D graphics for menus and the satellite navigation.

The technology could be a potential rival to Audi’s Virtual Cockpit, as it appears similar to the dashboards of the Audi Prologue and concepts. Those cars also used OLED technology, and their systems inspired the layout and functionality of Audi’s Virtual Cockpit.

While Cadillac hasn’t released details about the advantages of its system, Audi has previously stated that OLED technology enables the use of thin, curved screens, which helps maximise interior design potential. The displays are also super high-resolution compared with TFT screens.Cadillac teases new concept dash
