A Look At The Tesla S 17-inch Haptic Entertainment And Navigation System
,----[ Quote ]
| Its a 17-inch LCD touch computer screen that has 3G or wireless connectivity.
| When we were in the car, the screen featured Google Maps. Tesla’s website
| verifies that the screen will be able to feature sites like Google Maps and
| Pandora Music. From what we saw yesterday, the screen is divided vertically
| into three separate areas: the maps/navigation screen, radio/entertainment
| area, and climate controls. The navigation screen has several
| tabs: “internet,” “navigation,” “car,” “backup,” and “phone.” The
| entertainment section has several tabs,
| including “audio,” “media,” “streaming,” “playlists,” “artists” and “songs.”
| The climate controls seem pretty standard. Our driver (see video) says that
| the computer is going to be run on some kind of Google Maps software and will
| feature a “full browser.” It’s not surprising that Google Maps is integrated
| into the interface, Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page are
| investors in Tesla. The dashboard is also an LCD touch screen. Tesla has also
| confirmed to us that the computer/entertainment center will be Linux-based.
