Audi uses projection to replace the central control screen, allowing you to lie in the car and watch movies

Autonomous driving is getting closer and closer to us, and drivers will soon be "completely liberated" in the car. As a result, in-car entertainment and space layout will also usher in a new transformation in the era of autonomous driving. Recently, Audi's new patent was exposed, allowing passengers in the car to experience unprecedented audio-visual enjoyment while lying in the car.

Information from the National Intellectual Property Administration shows that Audi has applied for a new patent, which will adapt a new in-car projector for the car. This product can provide different display sizes and projection areas according to the needs of the passengers.

The biggest difference between the car projector in Audi's patent and traditional projection equipment is that it provides a projector embedded in the center console and a projection screen on the back. In this way, the driver and passengers in the car can watch the projected content in their seats, and the projector will not occupy more space in the car.

Moreover, thanks to the adjustable size of the projection screen, the large-screen central control commonly used in cars is expected to be replaced, and the interior of the car will be more beautiful. It is learned that this technology is designed for fully autonomous vehicles, and Audi is preparing for the era of autonomous driving in advance.

According to previous news, Audi believes that L3 level autonomous driving has the problem of unclear functional boundaries and is likely to give up using L3 level autonomous driving technology on the next generation A8 model. Many consumers are looking forward to seeing the higher level L4 autonomous driving technology on this model.
