The Visteon reconfigurable [instrument cluster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ford-digital-experience) is covered by a clear plastic hood, which glows red when doors are opened, blue when high beam headlights are lit and yellow when a turn signal is on. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Reconfigurable Dashboards:** Developing customizable dashboards that allow drivers to upload their own designs and rearrange information in unlimited ways for a more personalized driving experience. - **LCD Cluster Integration:** Integrating LCD clusters into car dashboards to provide clear and customizable displays for better driver understanding and interaction. - **Smart Dashboards:** Creating smart dashboards that can adapt to driver behavior, preferences and traffic conditions and provide real-time feedback and alerts for a safer and more efficient driving experience. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Industry:** Incorporating customizable dashboard features and smart technology to keep up with the changing needs and preferences of drivers and to create a more personalized and connected driving experience. - **Consumer Electronics Industry:** Providing innovative LCD cluster and display technology that can be integrated into car dashboards to create more dynamic and interactive user experiences. - **Software Industry:** Developing software and apps that can be used with reconfigurable dashboard displays to provide smarter and more personalized driver feedback and insights. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Panoramic Automotive Cockpits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automotive-cockpit.md) - [Shifting Knob Infotainment Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-car-dashboard-concept.md) - [Multimedia Smart Cockpit Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-cockpit-technology.md) - [Self-Driving Vehicle Cockpit Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-display-digital-cockpit.md) - [Software-Defined Interior Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/softwaredefined-interior.md) - [Customizable Digital Cockpit Line-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-digital-cockpit.md) - [Innovative Smart Cockpit Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-cockpit.md) - [Color-Changing Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-i-vision-dee.md) - [Ultra-Large Automotive Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/57inch-pillartopillar-lcd.md)
