Nissan Motor Co. designers tossed knobs and buttons out the window for their latest car aimed at a generation apathetic about autos, leaving behind a clear-white surface for displaying photos, showing movies and playing games.
The Teatro for Dayz concept debuting at this month’s Tokyo Motor Show was designed to appeal to the driving disinclined, Tatsuya Shiosaki, a Nissan advanced product planning manager, told reporters in a briefing last month. The instrument panel, seats and door trim can function as displays along with LED screens on the car’s exterior. An on-board camera allows for taking and sharing selfies.
