Automotive is one of the next frontiers for electronics integration.
Nvidia showed off an LED panel dashboard and Humongous! 17" touchscreen control panel in a Tesla motorcar.

Audi demonstrated a gesture-based system for the car. 2 sensors at the base of the windshield detected left, right, up, down swipes to change the "channel" on one of the 3 headsup displays. The display for the passenger was recessed so that the driver couldn't see it. My arms (and those of many other women or short people) can't comfortably reach the dashboard area. I'm sure this is just a concept but I hope they'll take into account the ergonomics of more than just tall German males.
Ford also showed some new concepts but I didn't see them.
