Seems that the Bentley pic should be replaced with something a bit more "average", as the Bentley Dashboard isn't representative of your average car. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.225.249.248 ( talk • contribs) 23:17, 2 May 2005
I'm uncertain about what the scope of this article should be. Right now, the lead mentions only automobiles. Is the motorcycle picture appropriate? (motorcycles contain mostly the same features found on an automobile dash). Merriam-Webster says a dash is most commonly for an automobile, but may be on other vehicles, located below the windscreen. I also see references to airplane dashboards and such. Maybe that's more of a colloquial term, I don't know. (I think that more complicated controls for larger vehicles (eg. space shuttle, very large ships) aren't usually called a dashboard, are they? -- Interiot 07:02, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
I revised the lead to include small aircraft as well. Though I am not an expert in aviation - please check to make sure I did not make any mistakes. OlliverWithDoubleL ( talk) 00:15, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
I hear the term "dashboard" applied to computer (graphical?) applications used to monitor and communicate the status of a process and/or data. I encourage those who know more to contribute to the definition of this meaning of "dashboard." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Januszp ( talk • contribs) 16:37, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
The word originally applied to a barrier of wood or leather fixed at the front of a horse-drawn carriage or sleigh to protect the driver from mud or other debris thrown up by the wheels and horses' hooves.
A picture would have be nice. See: Google image search for sleigh dashboard and carriage dashboard. 194.237.142.6 ( talk) 03:00, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedia contributors,
thanks for your work on this article. I have a request. Could someone with knowledge concerning ergomomics, add information about best shapes, colors, etc. for the instrumentation present on a dashboard, please? I read at a web page ( http://www.stefanopasini.it/Oculistica_The_Imperfect_Speedometer.htm) that
But I would like to know if there are more sources supporting this.
Again, I thank you all for your efforts.

I propose merging Electronic instrument cluster into Dashboard. The electronic instruments are just an evolution on the dashboard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Futal ( talk • contribs) 13:08, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
I propose to separate the dashboard for car, train and aircraft application. Rudiwaka ( talk) 16:15, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
