What was edge automobile technology just a few years ago is now clearly mainstream, as Cadillac just demonstrated via its new 2021 Escalade.

The best part is that the 38-inch curved OLED display is situated directly in front of the steering wheel rather than housed in the middle portion of the dashboard.
