Some info from Motor Car: Citroën Eole concept (1986):

The Aeolus is a concept car based on a platform of Citroën CX , entirely designed by computer from Geoffrey Matthews drawings. (...) It's the first concept car to take advantage of a fully computerized design.

(...) Inside, four passengers can relax in a comfortable environment, and the central console has a flat panel that combines PC and phone features. game console , Hi-Fi set and CD player .

I don’t like the steering wheel, but those buttons on its sides, I’ve had a car like that. A VW Parati 1996, IIRC. The buttons were mounted on the dash, but accessible without removing the hands from the wheel. It was amazing. Found a picture where we can see the buttons.
