Why does the Audi A8 use a virtual cockpit instead of traditional analog gauges?

I'm interested in purchasing the Audi A8 but I noticed that it doesn't have traditional analog gauges. Can you explain why it uses a virtual cockpit instead and what its benefits are?

The Audi A8 uses a virtual cockpit because it provides a customizable and modern display for important driving information. This eliminates the need for physical gauges and allows for personalized layouts that suit your preferences and driving style.
