It's just a prototype. If you were to package such a thing for a car, you'd build custom boards that would be much smaller than the breadboards he's using.

Honestly, I don't think it's all that impressive. I mean, I couldn't build it. But it just looks like a college project. Sort of neat, but lacking all the work that would go into making it really useful or appealing.

First of all, the man needs some help with interface design.

Ferrari are using color LCD panels on their instrument panels. (I'm sure others are now, too.) They don't replace the main dials - the speedometer and tachometer - which seems smart.
