Yet another digital instrument cluster blog post

I hope you don't mind all these posts on digital instrument clusters, because here's another one. Nice thing is, you don't have listen to me drone on about how I think digital clusters are poised to change the face of automotive computing, yadda, yadda, yadda. This time, you get to see a nice video.

Three videos, in fact. The first focuses on digital instrument clusters; the other two on a "multi-node infotainment system".

These videos show reference implementations from the new QNX CAR program, which promises to change the world of automotive computing... oh wait, I said I wouldn't go there. So, hey, click here to see the videos, crank up the audio, and let me know what you think.

    Hi Zeke. QNX offers technology that helps automakers and automotive suppliers make digital instrument clusters, but it doesn't sell the technology directly to consumers. So I don't think I can help you. If it's any consolation, the next vehicle you buy could very well have a digital cluster -- they'll definitely become more common in the next couple of years, in some popular automotive models.

    Best of luck,
