BMW recognized huge displays dangerous

BMW recently [представила](https://motor.ru/news/new-idrive-08-01-2025.htm) the advanced information and entertainment complex Panoramic Idrive X. Its features are a trapezoid central display and a thin screen extended under the windshield from the rack to the rack . At this BMW, apparently, it will stop: the director of the development of the brand Frank Webber said that he would not succumb to the trend for cyclopean touchcrins, calling them useless and dangerous.

The main screen of the last generation IDRive complex is rather big: its diagonal is 17.9 inches. BMW believe that this is quite enough. Such a display will get to all new products – both Neue Klasse electric cars and updated fuel models.

According to Webber, the larger screen will distract the driver from the road. In addition, it is not always easy for the driver to reach the far edge of the too long touchscreen to click on the desired button in the menu, he added. In Motor Authority, in his words, a hint of Mercedes-Benz and his Hyperscreen Hyperscreen were seen in his words.

BMW introduced a new IDRive system with a display on the entire Hyundai windshield admitted that customers began to enrage touch screens in Alfa Romeo found that drivers do not need huge screens in cars

On the main Panoramic Idrive X monitor, the control of the most necessary functions is located close to the steering wheel – “at the distance of the tip of the finger.” A narrow display can be configured once, and all important information will be in the fast access directly under the windshield.

BMW recognizes the imperfection of large touchscreens, but, nevertheless, reduces the number of physical buttons. So, Idrive was eliminated from the joystick to scroll the menu: now it will be possible to manage it in a voice. The complex on the next generation BMW IX3 is debuted, the premiere of which should take place this year.
