I could not find the original source of the images.
Some info from Motor Car: Citroën Eole concept (1986):
The Aeolus is a concept car based on a platform of Citroën CX , entirely designed by computer from Geoffrey Matthews drawings. (...) It's the first concept car to take advantage of a fully computerized design.
(...) Inside, four passengers can relax in a comfortable environment, and the central console has a flat panel that combines PC and phone features. game console , Hi-Fi set and CD player .
It's hardly a difficult idea to come up with. I don't know why anyone would assume he was the first
Of course it’s not a difficult idea, its just such an obviously stupid idea that I can’t believe it made it past the brainstorming phase
What's stupid about it? You got a big screen and potential waiting times up to an hour at superchargers (or any other such situation), so why not throw in some games
It’s fine for things like that, but somebody with actual sense had to tell Elon that you can’t have streaming movies and video games going in the center console when the vehicle is in motion. That was A Thing he wanted it to do. I’m assuming that at least that was never on the table for the Citroën.
