Different views from different angles.

Who would have thought? Apparently, Mercedes Benz will be coming out with a high tech screen in the dashboard of their cars, that will be able to be "splitview" essentially. The way this works is similar to signs you might see on a building, or billboards for that matter, where you can see one picture from one side, and another picture from the other side... This is crazy! While the technological advances of such a system sounds cool, whats the need for it? and why in CARS? The picture that I saw showed the driver seeing a gps system from his angle, and the passanger watching the news or something from the other angle. In my opinion this is cool, but it also distances us from the people that we are with...
