Prime billing on QtC's front page is a picture of the combined 
dashboard/infotainment system for the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class.

Dashboard is definitely safety critical in eyes of regulators. Infotainment 
system too if is integrated with backup cam.

Are they? I thought it was infotainment systems. There's quite the difference 
between those two. (At least in most cars; Teslas I think may be starting to 
blur that distinction, and to an extent that likely alarms some people.)

Oh, fun story... before it died entirely, my Prius's dashboard would sometimes 
fail completely. The car still *moved*, but I had no idea how fast I was going, 
or how much fuel I had left :-D. Fun times... and an interesting point of 
discussion for whether or not the dashboard is, in fact, "safety critical".
