LG is helping Cadillac build more elegant-looking interiors

By
2016 Cadillac Design Study -- teaser video
The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance that’s held annually on the outskirts of Monterey, California, started life as a prestigious car show, but it gradually morphed into one of the largest — and glitziest — automotive events on the planet. This year, Cadillac is returning to the Golden State to show attendees a brand new design study that turns the tech dial up to 11.

The yet-unnamed model sheds valuable insight into what the future holds for the Cadillac brand, which is in the midst of the biggest transformation in its existence. And while the company is intentionally keeping details under wraps, a brief teaser video suggests that the concept will reveal what kind of infotainment system the Cadillac of tomorrow will use.

Designers have teamed up with LG Electronics to ditch the traditional analog instrument cluster and replace it with a pair of horizontal screens. Located right behind the steering wheel, the main screen displays data about the car and its surroundings such as the speed and navigation directions with 3D graphics. The second, bigger screen runs the concept’s infotainment system, meaning it displays entertainment and connectivity menus, as well as the driver’s agenda. Both units are fully configurable.

The screens boast state-of-the-art OLED technology, which provides a much higher resolution than the thin-film transistor (TFT) screens found in most cars today. Additionally, using OLED tech allowed Cadillac to fit its newest concept with curved screens, and consequently give it a more flowing, elegant-looking dashboard. Executives promise the technology will gradually trickle down to production models, though a more specific time frame hasn’t been provided yet.

Rivian R2 vs R1S: How will Rivian’s cheaper SUV compare?
The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.
