Driving wheel that can make advices

Apr 09, 2008
GPS navigational systems are widely used nowadays by drivers. Of course, it is very useful to have a whole map when you are driving in a unknown city, it even can notify you about traffic jams and so on. However, while it makes driving more comfortable, it also makes it a bit less safe - to view waypoints on the map you must look at the screen of the device. It distracts driver from road for the moment, and this can lead to dangerous situations. While most of modern navigation programs can use voice to indicate the direction, it is for sure that it will be much more comfortable not only hear when you must turn, but also see it. That is when this driving wheel comes in handy.

CSW, from Takata, is more than just an ordinary driving wheel. Designed by Takata and Navigon companies, it has a small display on its top. Paired with Navigon 7100, this gadget can show on the screen vital navigation information, such as direction arrows and speed. It also can display time or other useful information, which will be placed right in the line of sight of the driver; removing need in looking somewhere else while losing view of the road. In addition to that, the vital information from the car's computer can also be displayed, so you will know when it is time to do some repairs or refill the tank.

Designed with driving safety in mind, this high-tech driving wheel will keep driver's attention to the road, while keeping him informed with all information he might need. Voice notifications can be unnoticed, while the information on this display will be hard to miss. Let us hope that this kind of modification will be widely spread among all new cars, and will operate not only with Navigon.

Everybody keeps saying that there’s no OEM plan for this, but it’s actually going to be used in the new BMW 1-series as an accessory. It was part of the European 1-series catalog.
Looks much nicer in the BMW steering wheel than the Chrysler 300!
