The new generation of mini cars comes with this strange round display

Mini gave a preview of the cabin of its future products. In the interior of the new generation of mini cars, a borderless round display stands out.

Mini has just released images of the cabin of its next-generation cars, which provide a preview of their design and technology. The most prominent element that can be seen in these images is the 9.4-inch Old Gear display in the center of the dashboard for the infotainment system. This display, which works on the basis of the exclusive Mini operating system called Mini Operating System 9, has practically never had an opinion in the automotive industry.

The cabin of the new generation of mini cars

At present, a round compartment is placed in the center of the dashboard of mini cars, inside which the display of information and entertainment system with a rectangular form is embedded. Now, in the new generation of this car manufacturer’s products, the big screen will completely replace the previous screen. As a result, we will no longer face a rectangular display whose corners are curved, but a completely circular display without any borders.

In these images, a set of physical controls influenced by the old Mini cars is embedded under the central display of Gerd. You can also find projectors that are responsible for spreading light in the cabin environment and also displaying patterns on the dashboard. In addition, there is even a transparent panel as a head-up display in the driver’s visor.

As mentioned earlier, the new display works based on the Mini OS 9 system, which is more customizable than ever. For personalization, the driver has access to various themes called Mini Experience Modes, which change the lighting of the cabin environment, the amp screen graphics and even the audio experience depending on each of these themes. Among these themes, we can mention Go-Kart with a sports atmosphere, Green focused on efficiency, Timeless with a classic mood, Personal with the ability to place the user’s personal images, and Trail with an off-road effect.

The MINI OS 9 operating system in the new generation of Mini products even brings the brand’s smart personal assistant similar to Apple’s Siri or Google’s assistant. This intelligent assistant has the ability to perform tasks such as searching for locations and controlling systems such as ventilation and driver assistance. Mini has not neglected personalization for its dedicated personal assistant and has considered 2 avatars to be displayed on the screen when the driver talks to the assistant. One of these avatars is a moving mini car and the other is a cartoon dog named Spike.

The next generation cars of the Mini brand will benefit from the new cloud routing technology. Among the capabilities of this technology, there are stops for charging the car on long routes. Even when the car is parked or charging, the driver will be able to experience video games and use video and music streaming services that will be available through the Mini Connected Store.

This is not the end of the updated features of the next generation of MINI products, and the cars of this company are going to have a digital key, similar to other products that the BMW Group offers. Thanks to the Digital Key Plus feature, mini car owners can use their Android phone or iPhone to open the car doors and even start the engine. This is possible through ultra-wide band near the car. The owner will even have the possibility to give access to his car to another person and take access from that person at any time.

We should expect the introduction of the new generation of mini cars at a later date this year. What is your opinion of gadget news users about the design and technologies of the cabin of these cars?
