The design inside the car features screens. The three-screen setup draws inspiration from a spaceship’s starry windows. The central screen, instrument screen, and passenger screen each measure 12.3 inches. The side mirror screens measure 7 inches. They have wide black borders to differentiate them from the other three screens. Users won’t worry about interference during use.
