Aint no way this is going to look the same way in real life , because it has to be a hologram

You still look at the screen - there are no floating images in space.....
The screen is designed like a prism so that the occupant on the left is relected a different image to the occupant on the right - those looking from the centre such as the middle rear seat occupant will see the combined image.

I'm pretty sure they got it down to a science man, why would MB invest millions in a technology that doesn't work right?

Fujitsu Corp of Japan already has this type of technology. Nope its not a hologram.

Last year Jaguar was working with a different supplier on the exact same setup. Its not a hologram, and it actually looks decent from the two separate positions. I'm not surprised to see Mercedes come to market first with this tech. However, if Bosch is involved, it wont be long before everyone from BMW to VW has this also.

Wouldn't it be easier (and cheaper) to just put another screen in front of the front passenger? That way the passenger could look straight forward, instead of turnings his/her head in to an awkward position.

The use of head 'fones' is restrictive, otherwise this is a v good idea.

Cool idea but people really can't get away from the tv that long? I always like the idea of socializing with the person next to you

I agree, eventhough on a long trip while the driver focusses on the road and surroundings it might be a good thing to keep over talkative passengers (typically females) busy for awhile lol

Not sure what you point is... the LCD was invented in the US so should only American cars have them? Should no one make variations or advancement to them except US automakers?

This is already available in Toyota minivans in Japan...since last year!
Jean Reno was advertising it
