A couple of months ago, I introduced you to the QNX digital instrument cluster, which demonstrates how automakers can migrate from mechanical gauges driven by stepper motors to virtual gauges driven by microprocessors and graphics chips.

Check out this video on the Mad Mac; the QNX digital cluster makes its appearance at the 3:25 remaining mark and in the closing frames of the video:
