speedometers

Dashboard velocity displays

Speedometers is the plural of speedometer, an instrument that displays a vehicle's speed.

The typical speedometer uses a dial and needle, though digital displays have become common.

Most speedometers in cars also incorporate an odometer, which tracks total distance traveled.

The speedometers in European cars show kilometers per hour.
