Digital speedometers in cars are nothing new, but recent years have seen the introduction of even more advanced LCD monitors and upgraded display technology. While these high-quality displays have become de rigeur in luxury vehicles, they will likely soon be making their way into more affordable compact models as well. 

These digital all-round displays show more than just speed, revolutions and electric range; they also provide information about weather, navigation, traffic, music and even notifications from your mobile phone.
