Avatr has revealed the specifications for the 07 hybrid crossover in Russia. Outside—beauty; inside—a digital outpost of a space station. Huge screens, luxurious trim, a panoramic roof, and up to 502 hp under the accelerator pedal. Acceleration to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. But there is one detail that makes you want to award the engineers a prize in the name of the person who invented removing climate control buttons from the cabin. In the Avatr 07, cameras replace the mirrors, and the image is displayed on separate monitors.

Have you ever driven a car, gentlemen? A driver spends decades becoming accustomed to looking in the mirror at a specific spot. That’s a reflex, not a menu option on a smartphone! And now they have to relearn, search for the screen somewhere else in the cabin, and hope their brain processes the image before the driver next to them drifts into the door.

Congratulations: you’ve replaced a simple, intuitive object with an additional electronic device that can break down. It will be especially fun in the winter when there is dirt, snow, and reagents all around. Welcome to a future where, instead of just looking in the mirror, you must retrain reflexes that have been built up over decades.
