Earlier this month, we told you about
GM’s plan to use Sharp’s dual-view LCD display technology
on its navigation systems. But it appears ToMoCo has beat GM to the punch. Toyota unveiled its dual-purpose
navigation/entertainment unit on the Alphard — a minivan sold in Asian markets. The system allows the driver to
look at the navigation while the passenger watches a DVD at the same time. Frankly, we can care less who offered it
first, it’s just such a cool gadget we can’t wait til it becomes adopted as an industry standard.
