I could not find the original source of the images.

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

The Aeolus is a concept car based on a platform of Citroën CX , entirely designed by computer from Geoffrey Matthews drawings. (…) It’s the first concept car to take advantage of a fully computerized design.

(…) 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

Of course it’s not a difficult idea, its just such an obviously stupid idea that I can’t believe it made it past the brainstorming phase

What’s stupid about it? You got a big screen and potential waiting times up to an hour at superchargers (or any other such situation), so why not throw in some games

I’d much rather this than what Tesla is doing now.
