QNX unveiled their latest concept car at CES this week and it was a big hit on the show floor. A Bentley GT is always an eye-catcher, but outfit it will crazy QNX goodies and it's even more over the top. The QNX Porsche was awesome, but this Bentley is ten a hundred times as awesome. Kevin took the driver's seat as Dan Dodge himself took him through all of the QNX features in the car ranging from the oversized touchscreen console right down to the digital dash cluster (which has the same core as the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha).
As you can see in the video, there is a physical dial in the screen that detects when your hand is close and then shows the UI accordingly so you can adjust settings. The system includes video chat when parked, a backup camera and even a cloud-connected HTML5 app that shows the vehicle information on your phone. The app displays playing media, car stats and you can also control doors and windows. All in all some pretty amazing stuff packed into this car. Check out the video above for the full walkthrough and let us know what you think in the comments!
