While everything seems very impressive and questionable to the practicality of the application of some of the concepts (such as the touch sensitive center stack, though the point that it can be easily manufactured probably is the real concept after all), I was really intrigued by the wireless charging pad. My surprise probably comes from me not keeping up with car tech as much as I should, but wirelessly?! So either the editor didn't put much emphasis on it because it was trivial or not as impressive as everything else, or probably wasn't one of the main focuses of the article, or it's just me. Anyone else?

Wireless charging has been in the background of research in the car technology field. I know there is a research facility by my house that is looking to be able to do so with power tools and laptop stations for businesses, corporations, and warehouses. But they don't necessarily make it sound like such an amazing technology in this article, but yet it is probably one of the best specs of this new design!

Wayne Cunningham is not what you would call a smart writer. He must be paid by the word .01,because he really doesn't understand cars after reading this story and reading up on 3M and Visteon website. If they paid Wayne money for this writing they over paid!! He should stay in writing for cook books.
