What's likely to catch your attention when you sit in the driver's seat of the new 2013 Lexus GS 350, unveiled last night here in Pebble Beach? It's the 12-inch display screen. It's huge.
The new GS shows how video monitors are sort of taking over dashboards. The one in the GS, a completely redone Lexus model coming to showrooms early next year, is far wider than it is tall. As such, it will likely to be divided into split screens -- either two or three -- displaying different information.
It shows computers are increasingly coming to dominate cars as motorists look for the same experience they get from PCs at home or the office.
Want to set the car's cabin temperature while monitoring the stereo options? It's the kind of car that could set monitors for both at the same time, and still let you have fairly good vision of both.
Lexus' U.S. boss, Mark Templin, says where big computer screens in cars go, a new array of Lexus-approved apps are sure to follow. The car promises a wider array of abilities to track information.
