HUDs

I wonder how long it will be before someone hacks dicks all over them.

>>14824055
I like the idea, but it would be taking distracted driving to a whole new level. I know hud already exists in some cars but it's usually in cars that aren't owned by stacy.

>>14824055
It would need to be extremely well designed.
I wonder if they could so something similar to fighter aircraft where they have a glass HUD.
I don't think it's practical to do it on the windshield.

>>14824055
that's way too much bullshit to look at

I have a hud in my car, only thing I need/want is the speedometer

>>14824055
its actually distracting as fuck especially at night.

imagine someone shining 100leds from inside the car at the windscreen

Augmented reality would be amazing for navigation

>>14824055
I wonder how much will I have to pay to fix it in 5-10 years

>you could tell the navigation to show all Chinese restaurants in the vicinity

Seeing their health inspection ratings would also be nice.

I'd also like a HUD to show neighborhood crime statistics. I wonder if driverless cars will have the option of avoiding high crime neighborhoods.

Whatever happened to the "avoid ghetto" app?

>>14824384
Nah they'll be hard coded to detour to the shittiest areas possible to avoid being racist.

>>14824096

Electronic aids could help prevent accidents.

>>14824130

Like an aircraft is kind of like what I was thinking.

>>14824340

It could be customizable.

>>14824357

The brightness could adapt to the ambient light.

>>14824368

Yeah, a navigation line like in The Crew and in the picture would be so cool.

Or what if the line was on the road? It could have arrows like in a sim racing game, with brake indicators on the corners.

>>14824376

It would probably be cheap because it's just a projector on top of the dash, but it looks like it fills the whole world in front of you.

>>14824384

That would be another possibility.

Maybe a radar showing the nearest police cars like in Need for Speed or GTA

Not a fan. Maybe if I was a courier or something I'd have a use for it but I already know where the chinese restaurants are and I know how to get where I go and I can read map and plan a route.

Maybe if I'm driving a rental in another city it'll be useful, but I'm not going to bother learning how to use it.

>>14824410
looks like an opportunity
if it were useful enough I'd buy it
I think GPS and other telemetry could be improved a lot by it
If you can carve out a place for it in the dash, would be even better for saving space

>>14825303
actually there's already some models on the way

This thing looks like absolute shit though, it's just the reflection of the smartphone on the windshield

>a-pillars already so fat it creates a huge blindspot in corners
>now they want to flash shit directly in your field of view

has progress gone too far?

Only piece of info I want on my windshield is my speed. Everything else I don't mind looking at my dash for. I am quite sure there is gadgets that do that already.

>>14825599
If it sits right below the windshield, it's in your peripheral field of view, which is where the original dash is then no problem right?
>>14825758
why not sensors for oil, engine temp and rpm?
you could even draw a schematic of the road up ahead in 3d so you know what to anticipate on new routes/turns where visibility is low
Obviously more than you'd need, but it would be a nice option for a higher end car.
And the numbers would be in a more discrete place, like with aircraft.

>>14824426

Yes! That would be cool.

>>14824459

I imagine it will get better with more features. Maybe you will find something about it you'll like?

>>14825303
>I think GPS and other telemetry could be improved a lot by it

That's exactly what I am thinking. It could add a level of dynamism to driving. The only issue I find is that with self driving cars becoming more common, people might see it as redundant/obsolete and the technology might not grow as much because of it.

>>14825321

That first one looks so cool. :D

>>14825599

It's all transparent, so it won't block anything from being seen.

I remember watching a video of a car which projected images on the pillars to create an unobstructed 360 degree view around the driver, but I forgot what it was called.

>>14825758

Great! I think most people can learn to appreciate it in some way.

>>14825984

Guidelines on the lanes and markers on the traffic would change the way people drive in fog forever.

Shut the Fuck up no one needs a fucking heads up display

>people can't like what I don't like

>>14825984
Those additional sensors can be good and all, but I never find myself constantly looking at them. I wouldn't mind if they were small and to the side in case I needed to look at them

>>14827792
well it is a novelty item after all

>>14824055
Mercedes Mechanic here... it gets old... quick.

After a while, you start wishing there wasn't shit in the corner of your eye constantly there.

I think the Aztek had a little red speedo projected onto the lower windshield. The G6 and G6 Coupes had them in the mid 2000s. Cadillac had one even earlier than that, a nice bright green, and they were available many years before.
Just basic things like speedo, and engine errors, but they're pretty nice. I had imagined they'd be standard equipment on all cars by now. Not sure if I'd want navigation directly in my line of sight though.

>>14827331
>implying I dont want KITT 2.0 in my electric delorean

>>14828190
yeah on the windshield it looks a bit weird
maybe I'll do a design mock up for fun

>>14828225
Apparently you could get one on a Cutlass Supreme in 1988. They've been around a very, very long time.

I'd love overlay HUDs as long as they used available info from GPS/Internet/Etc to tell me where black people lived so I could avoid those streets.

>>14826854
mercedes is doing that currenty with a hud for warning/ghost follow/ and ect.
