More playful than Tesla, can modern cars install a screen on the steering wheel, can it work?

Nowadays, there are three or four screens in the car car has long been strange, it seems that the more screens of whoever has at the moment, the more "sense of technology" will appear.

In this screen race, Hyundai came up with a peculiar idea of adding a display to the steering wheel. At present, Hyundai has successfully applied for a patent, this display is not the tiny functional touch screen on the steering wheel, but to replace the middle of the steering wheel with a screen.

Yes, Hyundai wants to replace the dashboard with this design to make the interior of the car more simple and intuitive. At this time, smart friends will ask, "What about the airbags, blowing up the screen when they pop up?" ”。 Quite simply, Hyundai places airbags elsewhere without affecting each other.

In fact, this is not the first time that modern times have proposed the idea of placing a screen on the steering wheel. As early as 2019, Hyundai proposed a project called Virtual Cockpit Study, but the project concept is to add two functional touch screens at 3 and 9 o'clock on the steering wheel.

Although it is two touch screens, it is different from the current universal steering wheel multi-function touch screen, which displays the relevant functional control according to the operation of the system.

For example, when playing music, the steering wheel screen will switch to pause/play, volume level, switch songs, etc., and when you select navigation, the steering wheel screen will display confirmation/cancellation. In addition, you can also customize the menu interface on the front level of the steering wheel screen, place your own frequently used functions, and the steering wheel screen also supports multi-level menu operations.

Compared with the above 2019 ideas, today's modern ideas are obviously more radical, simply replacing the dashboard with a screen in the middle of the steering wheel. Do you think this practice is a gimmick, or is there a certain possibility of development?
