Lexus LF-LC Features Integrated Digital Features & Functions

— January 11, 2012 — Autos
The Lexus LF-LC sports coupe debuted at the International Auto Show in Detroit yesterday, wowing attendees with its gorgeously curvy bright red exterior as well as its innovative touchscreen features.

One of the most notable elements of the Lexus LF-LC is its integrated touchscreen technology. The car is designed with a touchscreen keyboard that pops up between the two front seats; this digital feature, as the general manager of Lexus in the United States Mark Templin describes, is "kind of like having a tilt-up iPad” inside the vehicle.

What's more, smaller (about the size of a phone) touchscreen panels are added to the inside of each door, allowing the driver and riders to adjust the side mirrors and control the windows, seats and doors. And if that wasn't enough tech, the Lexus LF-LC also features two 12.3-inch LCD panels within the car that display the speedometer and navigation controls, describes WSJ.com.
Trend Themes
1. Integrated Touchscreen Vehicles - Cars with integrated touchscreens are becoming more popular, providing an opportunity for automotive companies to innovate and improve the driving experience for their customers.
2. Mini Touchscreen Panels - Mini touchscreen panels inside cars are becoming more common, providing innovative ways for drivers and riders to control various functions within their vehicles.
3. Large LCD Panels - Cars with large LCD panels offering improved navigation and other functions provide an opportunity for car manufacturers to differentiate their products and improve the driving experience.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Industry - The automotive industry is seeing more integrated touchscreen vehicles, mini touchscreen panels, and large LCD panels as features for upcoming models.
2. Technology Industry - As touchscreens continue to become a popular feature in modern cars, technology companies have opportunities to create more innovative and user-friendly systems.
3. Design Industry - As touchscreens become more common in cars, designers have the opportunity to create vehicles that feature well-integrated and aesthetically pleasing touchscreens and interface design.
