Mercedes supersized display aims to outdo Tesla's hallmark touchscreen

Daimler AG's unveiled a new display screen on Thursday that will cover almost the entire dashboard of its luxury Mercedes-Benz models, in a bid to outdo Tesla Inc's hallmark touchscreen infotainment system.

In a video presentation, Daimler Chief Executive Ola Kallenius said the new "Hyperscreen" - which at 56 inches (142.24 cm) in width dwarfs Tesla's vaunted 17-inch screen - will make its debut in the EQS later this year, Mercedes' new fully electric sedan.
