Audi's New "Virtual Cockpit"- The Instrument Cluster of the Future


  
 
Once again, Audi is staying far ahead of the curve when it comes to in-vehicle technology.  Audi's latest revelation is the "Virtual Cockpit". 
Audi describes the Virtual Cockpit like this:  "Everything in view, directly in front of the driver - The Audi virtual cockpit, a fully digital instrument cluster, is completely driver-focussed. The 12.3-inch TFT display depicts all the information in razor-sharp, brilliantly clear and high-contrast quality".

Originally introduced only the Audi TT, the Virtual Cockpit will soon be available on other models as well.  It will be available on the 2016 Q7, and possibly others for 2016.  The beauty of the Virtual Cockpit is that the driver is able to change their view of the completely digital dash view.  There are no analog instruments whatsoever, everything on the digital screen.  Even in bright sunlight, the screen is beautifully clear.  This truly is the instrument cluster of the future.
