Infotainment screens are a part in most people’s everyday life. From the moment you get in the car in the morning, your phone will connect automatically to the blue tooth, you can flick through to your favourite radio station, take a look at the weather or scroll down to select that favourite song. Infotainment screens can be traced back to the early 1930s when the very first AM radios were introduced into the very high end of the market.
What was the first car with an infotainment screen? It was the 1986 Buick Riviera! And it was only about two inches wide. It didn’t last long however in the 1990s Buick discontinued the screens as owners found it too distracting!
We have been looking at some of the newest vehicles and there ultra-modern infotainment screen so enjoy our wrap up below.
