I have to dis agree on cars given us efis in GA. Efis in GA has been around a lot longer than the use in cars. I would think there are more aircraft manufactures using glass screens than cars manufactures. If you really need to thank anyone it would be the computer industry and also the gaming industry. They the ones that really have made a Difference to screens and to making them smaller lighter and reliable. Rate gyros in the hand controller for motion detections.
But still once again the progression came for aviation down to the motor industry and not the other way.
But once again the cost and repair cost can cripple you when they fail. And they do fail.
