Mercedes’ Flagship EV Will Have A Giant, 56-Inch Screen Spanning The Entire width Of The Car

Mercedes-Benz appears to be going all-in with the screens.

Not only can the brand’s new S-Class flagship be fitted with as many as five screens, but the German automaker also wants to outfit its upcoming flagship EQS all-electric car with a massive, 56-inch “MBUX Hyperscreen.” It’s meant to stretch across the entire width of the car – from A-pillar to A-pillar. Sea to shining sea.

Gone will be any kind of layering of displays. “With the new zero-layer feature, the user no longer has to scroll through sub-menus or give voice commands, as the most important applications are always available in a situational and contextual way at the top of the driver’s field of vision,” Mercedes said in a press release.

The screen uses OLED technology and will be curved. Front passengers get their own displays that can be personalized for up to seven different profiles. The screen surface area for the front passengers comes to 377 square inches, or about 2.6 square feet. The air vents are integrated into the screen. The Hyperscreen has eight CPU cores, 24 gigabytes of RAM, and 46.4-GB-per-second RAM memory bandwidth. The screen also supports artificial intelligence, and the pixels turn off when they aren’t being used.

The EQS is scheduled to hit the market this year and will be a member of the S-Class range.
