Your car dashboard probably doesn’t look much different to how it would’ve 20 years ago – a radio, a speedometer and a clock all nestled together – but Pioneer wants to change that.

Sadly the system isn’t coming to the UK any time soon but will be outed in Japan next month for the pocket-punishing price of $3700 which also buys you a built-in DVD/CD player, a USB port, SD card reader, 5.1 centre speaker and Bluetooth. All those features are controlled by a 7in LCD display. We desperately want AR in our cars but perhaps not to the tune of nearly $4k.
