Spike, A New Digital Character: What's In Store?

As mentioned, Spike is modelled after an English bulldog. As a dedicated Mini 'Intelligent Personal Assistant', it directs users through the future Mini model family's new operating system. According to the brand, the new digital character will be integrated into an infotainment system of the concept. According to official images, the infotainment screen is OLED, and its circular interface is larger and floating. This screen differs from the integrated infotainment system featured on all current Minis. Further, according to images, the dashboard now seems to have specialised graphics, simple steering, and fewer buttons. There isn't a separate driver's display, though.

And he is not just a design experiment – he is becoming a characterful companion for the user experience.”

According to reports, the new digital character will also be a part of the upcoming production vehicles, including the Mini Countryman in 2023, the Mini Cooper in 2024, and the Aceman Crossover SUV in 2025. The carmaker has not shared any exact details as to what Spike will be able to do in these models.
