I could not find the original source of the images.

Some info from Motor Car: Citroën Eole concept (1986):

(…) Inside, four passengers can relax in a comfortable environment, and the central console has a flat panel that combines PC and phone features. game console , Hi-Fi set and CD player .

    So Elon Musk wasn’t even original in his decision to put video games in the dash of the Model S? It’s still a really dumb idea, whether by him or by Citroën, let’s be real here, though at least Pong isn’t in the center and appears to be more of a parked-car entertainment option.

    I do not understand how that wheel is supposed to work though

    I don’t like the steering wheel, but those buttons on its sides, I’ve had a car like that. A VW Parati 1996, IIRC. The buttons were mounted on the dash, but accessible without removing the hands from the wheel. It was amazing. Found a picture where we can see the buttons.

    Anyone has a better picture of the drivers dash? I looks like there is a 4x4 block of buttons to the right of the steering wheel and another 4x4 block on the left side

    +some more buttons in the middle of the steering wheel. That is a lot of buttons! What were they good for 🤔 ?
