Mugihe mugihe arcade yashoboraga guhangana na kanseri kandi mugihe terefone igendanwa yarenze mirage, ikintu cya nyuma wari witeze gusanga mumodoka cyari ecran ya ecran. Ariko, iyi yari imwe mu ngingo zingenzi zishimishije za Buick Riviera.
Ariko se, ecran ya ecran yarangije gute mumodoka muri za 1980? Byose byatangiye mu Gushyingo 1980 ubwo abayobozi ba Buick bafataga umwanzuro ko hagati yimyaka icumi bashaka gutanga icyitegererezo gifite ikoranabuhanga ryiza bagomba gutanga.
Muri icyo gihe, ku ruganda rwa Delco Sisitemu muri Kaliforuniya, hategurwaga ecran-ikoraho, igenewe gukoreshwa mu modoka. Kumenya imigambi ya Buick, Delco Sisitemu yerekanye mu ntangiriro za 1981 prototype ya sisitemu kubayobozi muri GM (nyiri Buick) naho ibindi ni amateka.
Muri 1983 ibisobanuro bya sisitemu byasobanuwe; no mu 1984 GM yashyize muri 100 Buick Rivieras yoherejwe kubacuruzi kugirango bumve uko abantu bitabira ikoranabuhanga rishya.
Sisitemu yuzuye
Ibisubizo, twibwira ko bizaba byiza. Nibyiza cyane kuburyo mu 1986 igisekuru cya gatandatu cya Buick Riviera yazananye nikoranabuhanga ryasaga nkaho ritagaragara muri firime ya siyanse.
Yiswe Graphic Control Centre (GCC), sisitemu yakoresheje moderi yo muri Amerika ya ruguru yari ifite ecran ntoya yumukara ifite 5 "inyuguti z'icyatsi kandi ikoresha tekinoroji ya cathode. Hamwe no kwibuka amagambo ibihumbi 32, yatanze imirimo myinshi ishobora kugerwaho kuri ecran ya kijyambere.
Icyuma gikonjesha? Byagenzuwe kuri iyo ecran. Radio? Biragaragara ko aribwo twahisemo umuziki twumvaga. Mudasobwa? Kuri iyo ecran kandi niho twabigishije inama.
Buick Riviera yari ifite ecran ya ecran.
Sisitemu yateye imbere mugihe kuburyo hariho ubwoko bwa "urusoro" rwa sisitemu yo kugenda. Ntabwo yatweretse inzira, ariko turamutse twinjiye mugitangira cyurugendo intera tugiye kunyuramo nigihe cyagenwe cyurugendo, sisitemu yatumenyesha munzira hasigaye intera nigihe kingana iki kugeza tugeze kuri aho ujya.
Usibye ibi, umuburo wihuse hamwe nu bipimo byuzuye byabonetse kugirango utumenyeshe uko imodoka imeze. Hamwe nubwitonzi budasanzwe (mubice bimwe, biruta ibya sisitemu zubu), iyo ecran nayo yari ifite urufunguzo ruto rutandatu, byose kugirango byoroherezwe gukoreshwa.
“Mbere yigihe cyacyo”, iyi sisitemu nayo yemejwe na Buick Reatta (yakozwe hagati ya 1988 na 1989) ndetse inanyura mu bwihindurize - Visual Information Centre - yakoreshejwe na Oldsmobile Toronado.
Nyamara, abaturage ntibasaga nkaho bemejwe nubu buhanga niyo mpamvu GM yahisemo kureka sisitemu, nyuma yimyaka 30 (hamwe nubwihindurize bukenewe), yabaye "itegeko" mumodoka hafi ya zose.
