No. The free standing screen is here to stay at least for a while.
The new approach to interiors will see minimalism , surfaces and a complete de clutter of certain controls. It will be like in a modern lounge where normally the centre piece is the flat screen TV positioned on the wall. In the car the free standing navigation screen will be the focal point.
I actually feel the position of the screen is perfect. I don't have to look down and away from the road to confirm a setting, check directions, or surf for music. I can still glance over with ability to see the road
