Hidden capabilities
...the Veyron doesn’t disappoint. Something as uncouth as a big, garish flat-panel video display disfiguring the leather-swaddled dash might be acceptable in lesser cars that only cost six figures. But in the seven-figure price range, navigation and back-up camera displays must be less, um, obvious. In the case of the Veyron, the rear-view mirror houses the display screen in its left-most quadrant when those functions are called upon. The driver enters the navigation destination using the touch-screen interface on an included Hewlett-Packard iPaq HX2000 PDA running Bugatti’s own custom software.
The iPaq also serves as the conduit for pairing a phone with Bluetooth to the car, and runs a utility called Bugatti View, which gives drivers a summary of the car’s activities. It presents the pressure of all four tires, and reports on how much engine power has been used while driving, the car’s average speed, the lateral and longitudinal acceleration and even tire temperatures.
Asked whether it seems curious that the world’s most expensive car relies on off-the-shelf consumer electronics as its driver interface for the car’s electronic systems, Bugatti representative David Jenkins noted: “Bugatti makes motorcars, not little computers.”
