In a development that will surprise absolutely no-one, Audi has revealed that its forthcoming electric SUV will have more screens than a small branch of PC World. Taking its lead from the A8, A7 and A6, the e-tron uses two screens in its centre console, plus the firm"s usual virtual cockpit" display for the driver"s instruments. Audi itself implies it"s no revolution, saying, "great care has been taken to make access to the technology as easy and intuitive as always with Audi". However, there is one stride forward. In countries where it"s allowed, the e-tron will get lipstick cameras instead of door mirrors. These are tiny, and so reduce drag and extend the electric car"s range at higher speed. The same tech was used in VW"s wonderfully extreme XL1 eco-car.
