Old article that sums it up nicely!

I’m surprised more automakers don’t create unique shapes to their mmi’s like Audi’s digital cockpits. Even Audi’s digital cockpits are variably shaped across models. Either they make them unique, or they make them identical behind the bezels like they are a large rectangle. If that is the case then they likely use software to turn off the pixels of the section of the screen that is covered. I feel like cheap rectangle screens with fat bezels are super cheap (and cheap looking), but would be easy to modify to create a shape with a bezel cover, so why don’t manufacturers do this?
