Mercedes-Benz will debut an advanced new curved automotive display next month called the MBUX Hyperscreen, which will rival the curved OLED display that comes standard in the 2021 Cadillac Escalade.
The MBUX Hyperscreen will debut in the German luxury automaker’s upcoming battery-electric sedan, the EQS, where it will be optional equipment. Mercedes says the “large, curved screen unit “extends along the entire width of the vehicle in front of the driver and front passenger,” and “takes the operation and display of infotainment, comfort and vehicle functions to a new level thanks to artificial intelligence.”
The infotainment system is also “highly capable of learning,” the automaker says, suggesting the AI system will be able to learn the user’s preferences and behaviors and adjust its operation accordingly.

The Mercedes-Benz EQS electric sedan was previewed by a concept vehicle of the same name that was first shown at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show. The concept featured a large, portrait-style center infotainment screen along with two accompanying screens mounted on the driver’s and passenger’s side door armrests. This doesn’t appear to be the same system as the MBUX Hyperscreen, which will span the width of the entire dashboard, though it does give us an idea of what Mercedes’ future infotainment technology looks like.

The MBUX Hyperscreen will make its official debut during a special online live stream event to be held on Thursday, January 7th. The stream, which will be part of the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show, will also feature an appearance from Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG chairman Ola Källenius, who will provide additional details on the system and the automaker’s future plans for it. Mercedes says viewers of the live stream will gain “interesting insights into the system, its unique features and its development.”
The 2021 Cadillac Escalade set a new infotainment display standard when it debuted with the industry’s first 38-inch widescreen curved OLED display. The curved OLED screen is standard equipment in the full-size luxury SUV and serves as both the central infotainment display and a digital driver information center. The screen also has twice the pixel density of a 4K television, as well as the largest color range available in the automotive industry.
We’ll know more about the new MBUX Hyperscreen, along with how it compares to the 38-inch widescreen curved OLED display in the 2021 Cadillac Escalade, following its debut on January 7th.

Comments
And so it begins. The who’s is bigger competition. What’s next? Will they decide we don’t need a windshield and just make everything in front of the “passengers” one huge screen and use cameras to see what’s in front of you?
I miss the basics.
Who needs windshields? Or roofs? Or multiple gears? Or the complex geometry of two wheel steering? Get rid of all that unreliable junk and bring back the original Benz.
Sam, I think you completely missed my point.
If you miss the basics, buy a GM truck, their as basis and cheap as you can get.
The technology I want Cadillac to get next is the electrochromic sunroof.
Future Cadillacs will have bigger screens too that will reach from the driver to passenger. All Mercedes is doing is competing with Cadillac basically, nothing special.
Mercedes probably has been developing that system for a long time now it’s just that Cadillac got their’s out first.
Right…because Cadillac had just begun their work on the collaboration with LG developing the curved OLED display a few weeks before the new Escalade’s release. It isn’t like they were developing that UX system and display for a long time or anything. The Escala concept is only like 6 friggin’ years old. Smh. lol
The difference is LG already has had that technology and has had it for a while where as Mercedes probably had to make all of that all from scratch considering that the screen is the entire dash. Cadillac already had the resources for the most part but what probably took the longest was creating the program for the screen.
I like the goal of a clean look of the dash but I feel like some things could go wrong…
@John: You think so? Take a moment to think about how often your computer/laptop gives you issues. Maybe just needs a re-boot? Maybe it completely shuts down? Maybe it just freezes for a moment? Maybe it just totally shuts down and then what? Or what about the higher chances of hackers or ransom ware? I could go on, but anyone using a smart phone or some type of computer for more than a day knows what I’m saying. I fully understand that today’s cars have many computers running most of the car already. But I believe most of them have separate systems running them. For example: If my radio/phone screen in my Spark goes bad, I can still run the climate system, see my speed, my fuel, etc. Now take the Volvo’s system where you can ONLY control the climate through the screen. What happens when the screen goes dead? Good luck with that and we have seen it happen here. Now think about the entire width of the dash being one giant screen running everything. No thank you.
To quote Gru from Despicable Me, ” Why are you so OLD “.
It is MONEY, ITS MONEY !
This stuff was talked about in the 90s when I was a computer programmer in the automotive industry.
By YOU same people. I can still remember the auto CEOS saying” if we made a product as reliable as a computer, it would be sitting on the side of the road waiting to reboot every 10 minuets ”
Seriously you guys, what do you use for machines ? Whos operating system ? What routers ?
What phone do you guys use ? Seriously !
Spend some f0cking MONEY and buy some new equipment already. Get up to speed in the world !
I cant remember the last time any one of my 6 computers crashed !
I don’t even shut my phone off for months, months !
Seriously, you are behind the times, behind !
The whole vehicle today is run with ONES and ZEROS I – 0 that’s it. Its digital, you either get it, can learn it, or don’t ! Again SIMPLE !
1 Byte = 8 Bits – OK
1 Kilobyte = 1024 Bytes, so 8,192 Bits – OK
1 Megabyte = 1024 Kilobytes, so 8,388,608 Bits – OK
1 Gigabyte = 1024 Megabytes, so 8,589,934,592 Bits – OK
1 Terabyte = 1024 Gigabytes, so 8,796,093,022,208 Bits – OK
1 Petabyte = 1024 Terabytes, so, O what the h3ll if you don’t get it by now, will you ever ?
OK so in the 90s, when I started computer programming, a hard drive would be HUGE at Kilobytes, today I store pictures on a 10 Terabyte drive.
OK so that’s ones and zeros, I – 0, on or off. That in turn means something in a language, ok you just have to believe me, the I – 0, on or off, is translated to EVERYTHING in the WORLD today ! From what color on a picture screen to voice over the phone, that’s it, its digital.
So here is where it gets interesting !
Speed of the I – 0 switching on or off, is the hertz – OK
Hertz is whatever times in a second, so a Megahertz is what ? 1,000,000 times a second A Million !
Gigahertz ? 1,000,000,000 or a Billion !
So the speed you can turn on and off the ones and zeros is computer speed.
Now we will talk the storage, how many ones and zeros a ” processor has to look through to find that ” one special ” one or zero slot.
RAM memory is the first bucket of ones and zeros your device looks through, changes all the time as you use it.
ROM memory is like a vault, stores the important things your computer needs ( hardware settings etc., I hope you know the difference between hardware and software )
OK so TODAY in the year 2020, humans can no longer get the speed at which we look through information any faster , per say.
So at this time TODAY, computer manufacturers just add more processors. Like 1 worker can look through 10 files, now just keep adding workers to each look through 10 files, 10 workers times 10 files each = 100 files looked through at the same time – OK GET IT ?
So now we will move on to screens. A screen today, you could say is a bunch of lights ( leds, light emitting diodes, led ) so the ” pixels ” of a screen is kinda how many little led lights are on the entire screen – OK
So the more pixels, the more crisp the image – OK
So the leds can change color, depending on the power put to each – OK
So the speed at witch the pixels,( number of lights per screen ) can turn on and off, bits, ones and zeros, is how fast the ” action appears ” on the screen – OK
Are you getting this ?
The faster you turn on and off the little lights ( leds ) on the screen, and the faster you store the Bytes of data to bring say , engine RPM on a needle, if that’s what you want the image of RMP to be,the smoother the ” needle moves, around a circle, if that’s what you want, or in a straight line, if that’s what you want, or even just a number, if that’s what you want – OK
This is where we are at today, really, do you get it ?
Screens are just that, not hard, simple, like riding a bike.
Turn on the right light, in the right color, to display whatever you want – OK
Or turn that same thing into a vibration how many pitches in a second – OK, still ones and zeros, still how fast and how slow can you change pitch, = sound on a phone, or speaker etc. – OK
And its all the MONEY it takes to pay people like ME who GET IT !
Coders, ones and zeros all day long !
Now we could go into HMI systems = Human machine interfaces. That is where a tough screen comes into play, heat of a human finger, turning on or off a one or zero to say turn on the heated seat !
Or a GUI, graphical user interface, like the touch screen at the gas station.
This stuff is easy, as easy as turning on and off a light switch ! O speaking of light,
Fiber optics, glass light tubes, numbers of flashes of light on and off at different hertz read at each end turned into led lights in the pixels on a screen, that’s it, simple – get it ?
It is NOT hard, it IS EXPENSIVE !!! And I no longer do it, WHY you ask ? because I am tired of the likes of GM making millions NOT knowing how its done off of people like ME who can do it !
So take your billions to China and have those people do it for you ! What do you get for that mighty dollar?
You are now, just like that, less of a country than China !
Thank You !
Carry On !
@lifelongGMowner: You know what? For a few days, you seemed quite good. You were doing shorter comments that at least had some coherent content. Now here you go again with LOOOOOONG posts and jumping all over the place once again. You really do tire me out. Here’s a couple points for you to ponder:
1. Stop acting like you know me or what I do or who I am. You claim to be 52 year old above, which makes you exactly 1 year younger than I am. So enough of the stupid comments about “us old people”.
2. You above claim that you can’t remember the last time one of your computers crashed. BS! There isn’t a person on earth who uses a computer that hasn’t had it give issues or crash or just stop working where you need to re-boot it.
3. You , yes you, are ALWAYS ranting about the CUE on your “POS” ATS. What do you call that? If anyone on here should agree with me on what I’ve stated above, it should be you.
4. If you were on meds for the past few days and why your comments were much more controlled, please go back on them.
Yep Dan Berning, again you are correct !
Yet I have NEVER had a computer delaminate !
Yet I have NEVER had a cell phone delaminate !
And yes that 2014 CUE is old, and I will upgrade it soon. I even see I can upgrade the HMI interface and it will be Android Auto capable ! Yet it will cost MORE than a Computer and do O so much less !
And you are simply WRONG yet AGAIN !
The new stuff – if you chose correctly, do NOT have troubles !
Seriously I do not remember the last time I needed to ” reboot ” even ” reboot ” is an obsolete term, its restart, and is ONLY needed for upgrades !
And those upgrades are FREE, again unlike GM upgrades ! Well the 2020 Truck is supposed to do over the air upgrades yet has not done any yet !
Thank, You !
Carry On !
Dan Berning,
Even these so called med you talk of.
Believe it of not, I have never even taken any meds, I have only been to a medical doctor 3 times in my life !
Probably should go, so they could find something wrong with me – right ?
Thank You !
Carry On !
Dan Berning,
Seriously, on a new machine there is nothing to boot !
It is no longer called re-boot because nothing boots !
A new computer, is ALL solid state storage and processors !
The second you turn it on it is on, no chugga, chugga, chugga !
Just poof !
Solid state, about a quarter inch thick , touch screen, light as a feather, quick as lightning !
No crashing !
No rebooting !
What the h3ll do those Volvo cars have in the dash ?
Do they re-boot ?
Are they not on right now -poof !
When you slide your finger across do they not work ?
That’s the difference form 2014 and 2020 !
the screen in my 2020 Denali is awesome, awesome, JUST TO D4M SMALL !!!
And I bet it does not delaminate like the CUE.
Money, Money, Money, Money !
When you spend it, the stuff you get, works !
That is what a Cadillac driver, OWNER, needs to FEEL !
They NEED to FEEL that they got something for what they spend !
And not something that delaminates and needs to re-boot !
Thank You !
Carry On !
I won’t even begin to claim that I know much about computers, how they work, what makes them operate or anything more about them. All I can say is that I nearly always purchase anything I buy brand new. Do I need the latest and greatest? No way. I actually prefer something that is more basic. But there is no denying that I have and always buy new phones. I only buy new computers. I take super care of them all and they are not abused in any way. What I can also tell you is that there have been times when all these products act up (or glitch out or freeze up or whatever you wish to call it). The IT guy at work has told me numerous times that when this stuff happens, just “re-boot” it or “re-start” it. Same with the guy at the Apple store. So again, I don’t claim to be even close to an expert in these areas. I do what I’m told and move on. So call it what you wish, I don’t care. The bottom line is that I’d rather have my fingernails pulled out with a plyers rather than have a huge screen strewn across the entire width of my car’s dash. And there’s no way on earth I’m getting into a “self driving” car no matter who produces it.
“And you are simply WRONG yet AGAIN !
The new stuff – if you chose correctly, do NOT have troubles !”
That is directly from your above post. Care to explain? My smart phone (I-phone) was purchased brand new this year. Less than 6 months old. All 4 I-phones have been purchased brand new.
I have two Chromebooks (one for each kid for school) and both are less than a year old. Both need to be re-started often for ‘updates” and both have had several glitches where I needed to shut it down in order to “re-set” it. Both have frozen only to come out of it for no apparent reason. These are certainly issues that I would never want my car to be doing, especially as I’m driving the freeways.
As for the de-laminating CUE screens? You should be upset about that and I know that has been an issue from what I’ve read. Yes, Cadillac should have replaced it for free and if they didn’t, shame on them. But please know that every single person on this site knows you hate your ATS. Everyone knows you feel it’s a POS. Everyone has read your comments about the “junk” CUE screen. Telling us every time in nearly every post doesn’t make us hear you better or agree more. Constantly commenting about those things only makes others feel like you should be on meds.
Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan Berning,
Read again, the computer workings post of mine – OK
Now , that moved to a phone ( even calling it a phone in 2021 is ridiculous )
So we have those, ones and zeros, I – 0,switching on and off, connecting EVERYTHING in our world today – OK
Your comment, I got a new OLD phone, is like me saying I bought a 2019 Denali truck brand new. It IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE SAME ! Here is where you need to know how it works, sure Apple GM or whoever can put the next number in front of the next thing and call it the same to market whatever to cover the expense. However the ” processor ” of the 2020 GM trucks is faster and better than the 2019 HD trucks, do you see YET ?
Your I7 phone is ” Known Faulty ” by the I phone guys, plain and simple. Just like the CUE in the old Cadillacs. if I go buy a BRAND NEW Cadillac ATS on the lot, that CUE screen at the correct temp is going to delaminate – OK ( old but new ).
Just look at the switching of the ones and zeros, the ” Chips ” you know like stock trading the ” chips ” Apple and Google are working very hard right now 2021 to make their own chips.
For those who think Cadillac is making that curved OLED screen, Cadillac is buying that tech. Sure in the Escala SIX years ago Cadillac showed it, and if GM would have spent some d4m money, it would be in ALL the Cadillacs today , yet GM is CHEAP ! And the REAL people doing it wanted MORE MONEY, GM tried to wait them out, UNTIL the others started to spend the MONEY, than there you go, GM stepped up. AGAIN after the last resort failed, GM will spend the money, never leading because they buy the tech. Its like X always says, GM cam manufacture things, yet X thinks GM is a tech company, and have never proven ONE time this to be true ( and thats why the stock will not move )
Back to your phone Dan Berning,
So if Apple has that old yet new phone sitting on the shelf, it has old ” stuff ” in it, does anyone like you or I know ? Well the GU-RUs do !
So the ” software ” is where Apple makes bank !
A lot of the time same chips, they just constantly change how the human interfaces with it! You got yourself a new phone, same old phone, just different human interface !
Its like when the Tesla owners found out they had heated seats in their cars. The customer did not buy the heated seat option, yet the seats had the elements. When Tesla found out how those owners used their batteries, ” POOF a button appears on the screen allowing them to turn on the heated seats !
It is ALL ones and zeros ! Sure I never buy new ” new ” stuff either, yet I will buy the older new stuff that has better speed ( processor ) and larger storage in the RAM ( how many ones and zeros ) than the BASE new stuff.
And unless you know, you do not know !
And Apple is one of the best at keeping everyone in the dark on this stuff !
Again, for those who think Cadillac came up with something here 6 or 10 or a million years ago, on screens, it is simple a farce.
This touchscreen technology, AI stuff is just SO, SO, SO far above a GM !
GM is just scrambling to get the chain links in placed to bring the Customer something they want, while not knowing what it is, and have been juuuuuust a day late and a few dollars short every time !
We are heading here and fast, and only the fake money will hold this back !
Just today, on the CBS, they were trying to convince people that an E-Mail cost more than a letter to send ! Ha, Ha, HA, old people trying to make the data show what they want while the people doing it are laughing !
Thank You !
Carry On !
So lifelongGMowner: Then if I take what you are saying, everyone (in order to be sure to have the absolute up to date tech with the least amount of issues) must buy a new car/truck/Van/SUV each year? If I’m wrong on how I’m reading your comments, please advise. Because you are saying the fact that I purchased a brand new I-phone that wasn’t the newest phone they offer (read, for the highest prices) simply means that I really didn’t buy a new phone? And…..because the tech of the screen of the 2020 truck is better than the 2019 screen, does that mean you will trade in each year?
I didn’t know you worked for all these companies by suggesting everyone trade up each year in order to avoid having screen issues. Wait!! You have told us that you don’t buy/lease cars for 30,000 miles and that you buy your cars/trucks to put over 100,000 miles on them. So now does that mean you drive more than 100K per year? (sarcasm)
NO, WOW,
You need to know what you are buying today !
More so than yesteryear !
Its the non truth of marketing for the greed !
You do not have to buy a new X every year , and for sure GM product, because again GM will MILK every dollar out of anything they can until they are to far behind to catch up ( money )
Its NOT the SCREENS that are faster between the 2019 HD and the 2020, or like the ATS and the CT4, its the OPERATING SYSTEM, I seriously don’t think you will ever get it !
The speed at which the whole vehicle communicates between the crank sensor and the spark plug, etc. is FASTER !
Get it yet ?
Its like GM just FINALLY spent the money for a FASTER phone, screen, whatever !
The screen is just a part of this today !
Remember back in the day when the really old boomers were pissed because the gauges in a vehicle were run by wire instead of an oil line under the dash, this is the same thing ! That ” dash ” SCREEN in front of you is a module, its a piece of plastic that shows the human what the want to know ! If its a digital dash, does NOT mean the numbers are in digital form, it means ones and zeros, and it is literally ENDLESS what you want to see on it ! You could watch a ” TV ” show where your MPH shows up, ones and zeros and how fast they change colors where, its that simple !
Its the WHOLE system, not the screen, any more, that flat piece of GLASS ( not plastic like the CUE ) is just like EVERYTHING we as human look at today ! Everything !
And you are correct, I do NOT upgrade vehicles but every 10 years or so !
So you are correct, they are OLD, and the TECH is OLD !
Yet I have NEVER said ONE word of OLD TECH being behind OK
Its when the tech you were sold is ” known faulty ” !
Just like Apple draining their batteries, to VW reprogramming the test ones and zeros !
This is allowing the companies to sell the junk, the junk they developed is pushed out on the consumer, WHY, because those in Government that are supposed to make the laws and regulations cant even use the stuff, let alone know how it works !
I have never said one thing to anyone ever of a product that was what is was sold to do !
If Cadillac would have said, Lifelong, this CUE screen will delaminate over 100 degrees and will just turn channels randomly, ETC. when I bought it. I would have planned accordingly !
No big deal, tech gets old, bearings wear out, things break, its life.
What is NOT life is selling a product to a consumer, that is faulty, designed faulty, like when Apple drained the batteries to force people to upgrade, FRAUD !
But when they did it again, no big deal because the fine paid was less than the product the forced sold, win win, its just money !
The sick dog is trying to protect the hen house from the quick fox !
lifelong: I may not fully understand all the tech side, but I do understand the point you have made. What I’m bringing attention to is the fact that you (and a couple others) have inferred that I’ve had these problems because I don’t have the newest phone for example. My take away is that you and others are attempting to say that I wouldn’t have had these problems if I only got the……..newest or most expensive one.
So I’m nicely pointing out the contradiction’s I’m reading on here and will go back to my original point. All computer systems will fail or freeze or do whatever you wish to call it. The system in the 2020 GMC example you use will be “old tech” in 3 or 4 years, correct? So then what? When Apple attempts to get me to purchase one of the self driving cars, I will say no thank you. When the car manufacturers only offer ginormous full width screens, I will walk or just stay home or keep fixing my old cars because I will never want one like that. It’s quite simple really. Technology is moving very fast and at some point it will start to rear it’s ugly head in the form of crashes and deaths that should never happen.
And you think Goober at the corner repair shop was bad at cobbling stuff together to fix the old cars when a customer didn’t want to spend the $100.00 to replace an O-2 sensor or $600.00 for a new catalytic converter? What’s going to happen when these screens start giving trouble and the customer (3rd or 4th owner possibly) refuses to spend $2,000.00 to replace it?
Tech has come a long way and I’ve kept up with most of it. But at some point, I’ll just say I’m done. Self driving cars and non-stop screens are that point for me.
Dan berning,
OK so I am right there with you on the ” I am done with technology ”
Only one difference here, first I want a vehicle that is up to date.
I know you still don’t quite get it, and that’s OK
The point at where I will quit is when I can buy a GM product that is up to tech of 2020 ! So far that’s the new Cadillacs and the new trucks etc. full-size ,SUVs etc. That is it. GM is that far behind where the tech should be. The new Escalades are having huge troubles, GM just does not have the tech people, not enough.
What you are still having troubles with here is the tech part !
You still think it is a flawed system, It is NOT. I am telling you it is the switching of ones and zeros, and how fast it can happen, that’s it.
The glitches and reboots you are talking about are a thing of the past. they are human flaws in the software, its that simple. the hardware is rock solid and there is no where else to go. Now its just doubling and tripling and so on, humans can make them no smaller, we are there, GM is not there but humans are there. The speed is there, now it too is just the doubling and tripling, and so on.
Where this is changing is what humans want to see and hear and the companies giving it to them. The ” TV ” screens are as fast as a human eye can see, any faster and it becomes blurry. The human mind can only see and here so fast and the tech is there, AND SOLID !
The people who can make it happen are not enough today ! The young man who has worked for me for the last 6 years just graduated from Electrical Engineering , he is now a coder for the aerospace industry, not electrical, coding. Elon landing those boosters on that ship. that’s coding and control and people who know how to do it. Amazon, coding and people who know how, and GM is NOT THERE, Sure those Cruise boys know how, the company GM bought, but that’s not enough so for GM enter China, Cadillac, China. China owns enough % of GM that they are the GM tech, the GM trucks and full-sized SUVs are headed there, and there they will have the tech people to do it. That is WHY GM needs the Cadillac dealers to invest 200K into training, there are no tech people in the GM line.
You quitting is OK I have quit some.
So here is what that means.
You know when you have like I do a 1968 Chevy truck, ok so when I need it I just go out there and it works.
I have a couple old computers for stuff.
Same operating system, never upgrade never connect to the net !
One is a CAD machine, one I use to program some control logic stuff.
This is the part you don’t yet quite grasp. those computers just plug away, nothing changes, same operating system, and you can not connect to the net as they do not have enough ” Ones and Zeros to keep up, but they are SOLID, in the spot they are at. meaning they will just run with that software for ever, or until a fan bearing goes out and they overheat.( and I have already replaced one cooling fan on one of those laptops ) they are about 15 years old and do what they do and that’s it, and they NEVER crash, because they can NOT do more.
And that’s where you get into your troubles. When the companies are cheap, like GM , because those in charge of the money do not understand tech, you get systems with not enough, ones and zeros, and you look through those , ones and zeros to slow. ( processors )
so you buy the tech, except now you need the people to make the stuff work. Like that beautiful screen in the Escalade, who is programming that thing to work ?and the ” digital ” dash now offered in the CT5 ? The only reason Cadillac is behind on this stuff, is MONEY.
GM and other automakers sat around and waited to prove the tech would never work, and now are behind. That is why Apple is not to worried, Apple has plenty of people to program ,code, make the ones and zeros do what the humans want them to do. Tesla, has plenty of the same, the other EV people have a few as that is why they exist. Yet GM can make vehicles, but that is a 100 year old trade. That is why I think the GM EVs will go nowhere, for years if ever.
And back to your stopping to purchase tech, everyone in the USA is there, there is not enough money to buy the stuff that is already sold, its all credit. All these people buying $80,000 vehicles making $40,000 a year. People say there is no inflation, what, they are not measuring it correctly because the investors are different people . hundreds of US people standing in line for food, yet a vehicle costs $ 80,000.00
Well !
You have a good night .
Thank You !
Carry On !
Some people have a degree in technology which is totally different such as a business degree or a architecture degree. Unless you have some sort of technology degree or have knowledge, you can’t talk. I never had my five year old computer (MacBook Air i5) crash ever. I do very heavy tasks on it such as CAD and I never had a issue and my iPhone is the same besides it getting a little bit hot after taking a 4K video for 10 plus minutes.
Heyyyyyy: If your comment is directed to me, then please re-read my comment again. I couldn’t be more clear in saying the following: “I won’t even begin to claim that I know much about computers, how they work, what makes them operate or anything more about them.”
AND: ” So again, I don’t claim to be even close to an expert in these areas. I do what I’m told and move on. ”
So please do explain to me the following. First, when I had a brand new (3 month old brand new I-phone directly out of the box) that suddenly heated up so badly that it nearly burned my leg and then died, what would that be? Apple store checked it over carefully and replaced it with another because the phone was not abused or dropped in any way. Computer failure. My first I-phone (about a year earlier). That thing had a mind of it’s own, would do crazy stuff, the screen would lock (not move) and the only way I could get it to work again was to turn off and turn back on. Also, what about the Mazda (cars) screens locking up and/or just going black and never coming back on? Only fix is to totally replace the screens.
Don’t take me wrong. I’m not against these things. I actually love my I-phone. I just don’t want a self driving Apple car nor do I want wall to wall screens in my cars.
The iPhone 7 is completely different from the iPhone 11 or 12. And you can’t even compare Mazda screens to Apple products or GM products in general. Even if Apple does release a car it’s going to be so overpriced and the only place you’re going to see them is probably Silicon Valley. Everything is basically a screen already it’s just that they’re making them bigger with more fancy features such as OLED or Super Cruise and I’m not sure if GM has this yet but Over the Air Updates so they can fix problems with the car and add features so you don’t have to buy a car every few years.
And Dan Berning, Ill let you in on a little secret !
I think this is the MAIN reason the GM 8 speed junk transmission has some of its troubles !
And YES I could be proven wrong !
Yet have not been PROVEN wrong YET !
The speed of the transmission control module, the processor of it. The part that takes the engine information, and the foot feet information, etc. and tells the solenoid in the transmission to open or close to shift gears, etc. is a timing problem !
By the time the processor takes in the information from the human, then tells the transmission to open solenoid #2 and close solenoid #1 on the down shift, by the time it takes the oil under pressure to make the switch, the human has already moved the input ( foot feet ).
And it just can not work PERIOD, So you go to your GM people and smoke that .
Why do you think the wiring infrastructure of the GM vehicle completely changed for the 10 speed transmission ? Look at how much faster the 202 stuff is than even the 17 stuff !
remember I owned a 17 Denali and now own a 2020 ! I wonder why I upgraded ?
EVERYTHING is better, faster, more reliable !
GM just could NOT spend that dollar until they had no choice !
So you got people messing with the fluid of that * speed junk to get it to slip juuuuust enough to not move so fast one way while burning elsewhere !
Why do you think the torque converter clutch is slipping ? It is engaged when it should not be, and if GM disengages it sooner they will lose a MPG and the Government will be on their doorstep for things just like the VW Diesel.
Its ALL just simple mechanical, electrical, digital, all working together !
And GM will NOT spend the MONEY they DO NOT have to fix it !
GM will just push it out on the customer, and a flawed warranty system, until the aftermarket tuners fix them !
Fun fact. GM and Ford worked on that 10 speed transmission together! Now both of them hopefully have a superior transmission compared to the rest of the auto industry! I mean Ford and GM are definitely rivals going back along ways but look what happens when some of the greatest manufacturers work together!
I never had to reboot my iPhone or my computer by force or anything like that because I spend money for capability. If we were comparing this to something like in 2013 that’s where questions are raised. I think most auto manufacturers know that they can’t screw things up or add experimental features without hours of testing because it could end with a lot of deaths which lead to lawsuits and in the end all they care about is money.
Just remember who created OLED Screens, Cadillac!
Cadillac created OLED Screens, they introduced it in the Cadillac Escala Concept in 2016.
I bet people are going to lie and say that Mercedes-Benz created OLED Screens knowing that Cadillac did first.
Like I have been saying, what evidence is there that GM will lead anyone, the Escalade ?
Mercedes does not compete with the Escalade !
We will see who wins this battle soon, and it is going to be fun watching.
Just so some of you know, they already are working on the windshield as the screen. you just see through it and it displays also !
Just money people, not the human ingenuity , just money.
Who will spend the money first ?
China ?
Europeans ?
Because in the USA, our citizens are standing in food lines, while our government argues over pennies !
You already know it’s going to be the USA with our lovely display of refrigerated trailers and tents on the street. Didn’t stop them then, not going to stop them now.
