Description
Summary:For decades, car automakers have been diligently researching on the improvement of the interior aesthetics of an automobile. As cars has been around for years, dated as far back to the 1940s, the dashboard, an interior panel of a car, has seen major improvements, both aesthetically and mechanically. As cars are more commonly seen everywhere around the world, consumers look for makes of cars which are best value for money, durable, and aesthetically pleasing inside-out. The dashboard, commonly understood as a control panel (or instrument panel), houses the instrumentation display and controls of the vehicle’s operations. It has revolutionised, in such a way that the panel, during its earlier repetitions, it was merely just gauges and knobs which displayed the car’s speed. Now, it has evolved into a digital display technology, which is mounted atop the dashboard in-front of the steering wheel. This is known as the Heads-Up Display, and it is software programmed, and is able to be projected onto a thin high-quality glass panel. This panel may be designed to look sleek and luxurious, depending on the maker’s car class and specifications.
