#2Cybertruck vibes on how much of a takeoff this was. Engineers who get ideas like this sold to the upper management always have my props (as long as they don't compromise the product too much that is)
EDIT: jumped the gun on this one and confused some memories. This was just a prototype, with obviously different requirements for "selling" the idea but there were some actual production cars with ahead-of-their-time graphical terminals like https://youtu.be/Lkaazk68iGE?si=_qpkZaVobI6zK-Cs&t=305

I suspect designers rather than engineers. General Motors has always been the bigger fins are better company.

#7I'm no car guy at all, but even I can see the faults with the doors (driver gets wet when the passenger jumps in while it's raining), and with the steering wheel (imagine trying to do a hand-over hand turn without accidentally pressing one of the buttons!)
More car makers are better, and engineers should be allowed to have a bit of fun, but concept cars are almost laughable sometimes in their basic flaws.
