Mercedes-Benz Hyperscreen and BMW iDrive
The BMW iDrive 8 and Mercedes-Benz's Hyperscreen are two of the most innovative systems currently available for vehicles. The BMW system features a curved display angled toward the driver and a digital instrument cluster. the Mercedes-Benz system features a large interactive display fusing technology, design, and functionality. Both systems are highly interactive and allow users to easily navigate through their cars. Both cars are expected to feature a great deal of flexibility and connectivity.
The MBUX system first appeared on the current generation A-Class, and is now in over 1.8 million passenger vehicles worldwide. It has also made its way into the S-Class and the latest version is expected to be included in the company's new EQS flagship electric vehicle, which is scheduled to arrive in 2022. This new system is expected to trickle down to the rest of the Mercedes-Benz range in future.
At the CES 2021, Mercedes-Benz unveiled a revised version of its MBUX infotainment system. The MBUX Hyperscreen system will be featured on future Mercedes-Benz EQ models, including the EQS sedan. Meanwhile, BMW previewed the next-generation iDrive infotainment system, as well as a human-centric lighting system concept.
The BMW iDrive will feature a new curved display, which has two sections: a 12.3-inch information screen and a 14.9-inch control screen. Both screens are angled towards the driver, which allows for a more intuitive use of the system. The iDrive will also feature improved sensors, which improve its ability to analyze the environment and provide more intelligent driving assistance.
The iDrive is an advanced touchscreen that wraps around the driver's display and infotainment. The car's screen is almost two-and-a-half feet wide and features a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment. The screen can also be customized by the driver. It is important to note that the iDrive is not perfect, as it is not fully compatible with Android phones.
The BMW iDrive has a more advanced interface, which is much more user-friendly than the previous version. The iDrive is powered by Operating System 8 and offers a host of customization options. The driver's personal settings can be accessed through the touchscreen. The driver can even give the car an assistant's name. The MBUX has a multifunctional camera and sensor, which can automatically adjust the brightness of the display.
The BMW iDrive and Mercedes-Benz Hyperscreen are both highly functional systems, but the Mercedes-Benz Hyperscreen is the king of screen real estate. The EQS is actually three screens and has a 56-inch screen. The iDrive is capable of processing more data than the NASA computers and is the best-looking of the two. The iDrive uses a computer, while the M-Bytes has a touchscreen that extends into the dash.
