Instead of an instrument cluster and digital infotainment system screen it projects everything onto a head-up display strip along the bottom of the windshield. The only controls are touch-sensitive pads built into the surface of the dashboard and thumb pads on the steering wheel, which has vertical spokes since it’s not blocking any gauges.<\/p>\n

“With BMW i Vision Dee, we are showing how the car can be seamlessly integrated into your digital life and become a trusty companion,” Adrian van Hooydonk, BMW’s head of design, said. “The vehicle itself becomes your portal to the digital world \u2013 with the driver always in control. Implemented the right way, technology will create worthwhile experiences, make you a better driver and simply bring humans and machines closer together.”<\/p>\n
