Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle may have a vehicle body and one or more displays. A display may be coupled to a roof portion of the vehicle body with a hinge or other attachment structure, may be mounted within a vehicle armrest, may be attached to a door, or may otherwise be mounted in an interior region of the vehicle body. The display may be a one-sided display, a two-sided display, a display with a touch sensitive edge portion formed from a strip-shaped pixel array extending along a peripheral display sidewall, a lenticular display or other display that is configured to display separate images to different respective vehicle occupant locations, or other suitable display. A positioner may rotate the display, slide the display, or otherwise move the display between a stowed position and one or more deployed position.
