Lincoln’s Future Is Full Of HUGE Screens, Here’s How They Work!

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Looking for a dashboard made of LCD Well, Lincoln has the new Nautilus for you today and soon every model will get the new Lincoln Digital Experience which is what they are calling the software and hardware package that delivered streaming video, online mapping, video games, web browsing and more LCD than, well, almost anything else. Want more than 48 inches of LCD We all know that’s coming in the Navigator next The multi-tiered dash shape and layout bear a striking resemblance to that of the Lincoln Mark VIII.
The various screens looked kinda cool in the still pics I’d seen, but in video on my TV, the whole thing looks kinda cheesy. The themes with the clouds and the water etc are dumb. I don’t think this interior is going to age well at all.

Why Just because they can make a giant silly screen What will it cost to repair or replace after it stops working This current industry trend of turning basic controls into distracting, unintuitive and inconvenient video games is a constant disappointment. Let's go back to basic & reliable knobs, buttons and mechanical gauges that we have used for more than half a century.

What a waste of resources. What is the purpose of all these screens For some reason is has become popular that the more screens you put in a car the more high end it is
Really, is that all you can come up with Ford, just slapping another screen on top of other screens
Where is the actual technical innovation in propulsion and reliability

Did I, or did I not hear that the European equivalent of the IIHS is seriously frowning on how these 'screens' are starting to get more blame for causing more collisions than the cell phone
Apparently those 'tech. screens' were brought in to make driving safer, now, there's proof that the opposite is happening, according to sources.

Way too much screen. It’s distracting, will be ridiculously expensive to replace if the windshield gets hit damaged, and overall just looks awful in my opinion. Put a 12 inch screen on or integrated on the dash, the normal digital guage cluster and be done with it. No one needs this mess to drive.

I love it. I’m a tech person. I want all the tech. This keeps the screen up close to the windshield. As long as the content on those screens isn’t capturing anyone’s attention for too long it seems fine to me.
This makes more sense than a street car with a sub 3 second 0-60 time.

Honestly my favorite instrument cluster in a long time. Not necessarily all the features, but it was perfect for line of site for both speed and map that head up display sometimes can’t get, especially with certain sunglasses or if you slouch randomly like I do.

I'm still worried about years down the road after the warranty period. Not the battery pack, it's all these screens and other gadgets. Will be a few more years before we find out how long this stuff lasts and cost of replacement for the second hand buyer.
reply

This isn’t it. I’m just happy the euro safety board is looking to mandate buttons back into cars if those manufacturers want a high safety rating. Maybe that will spill over to the US so we can have just two screens; one infotainment and one gauge cluster.
reply

It looks well-designed, and locating the screens so close to the windshield makes sense. Although I'm not sure the screens make driving any better than just having an instrument cluster, an infotainment screen, manual vents, and plenty of physical buttons.
reply

No one has said anything, and it's early days. Letting Changan program Lincoln and letting SAIC program Buick is the best thing Detroit has done this century. If HQ doesn't know what to do with a brand let the people making a success of them take over.
reply

I like this 'whole dashboard' display concept.
Now, just bring back the Star Trek shuttlecraft-style Chevrolet Lumina APV / Pontiac Trans Sport / Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan with this type of display and perfection will have been achieved!

reply

Yes. Let's attract the driver's eyes way to the right instead of on the road. Jeep did it correctly by preventing the driver from peeking at the passenger's display. Frankly, just give me a conventional instrument cluster every time.
reply

imagine the warranty work on these puppies lmao. let alone the insurance premium when the adjusters see this interior when you rear-end someone because you were scrolling some settings menu to find the next song you wanted lmao.
reply

This is beautiful and interesting tech but it kinda just makes me miss when cars were actually about the driving experience even more. Tech always ages (and depreciates) quickly. A great driving vehicle doesn't.
reply

Utility aside, how will these screens fare during a fender bender
Easy to see how insurance premiums keep climbing as these cars become more costly to repair.

reply

For so many years now, Alex has never let us down, always getting an appropriate song selection to have on screen. Yes, there's plenty of us who notice. ; )
reply

My car has the typical two screens. I turn them off whenever possible. All I need is the speedometer and fuel. It makes for a more relaxing environment.
reply

I’m fine with the maps but I’d rather use the rest of the screen real estate for augmented reality and blind spot or cross traffic cameras.
reply

Yeah, nah. This is like when you microwave the entire pack of bacon. Seems like a good idea, but is, ultimately, just too damn much!
