What if your car had a tablet of its own? Audi announced its Smart Display tablet, giving you control over your car's infotainment system, even from the back seat.

The tablet runs Android, and it has full access to the Google Play store. It is fueled by an Nvidia Tegra 4 and has a 10.1 inch, 1080p display and connects to the car via WLAN. The tablet has a camera, which might means you can Skype while you drive, but then you could already do that with your phone too.

There aren't a lot of details on this just yet, but here's another look at the tablet being held by an Audi executive:

Does Audi really need a tablet in the car? Unless it does something that other normal tablets can't, you could really just bring your own.
