There has been a great deal of virtual ink spilt on this Forum about the placement of computer monitors in the vehicle driver's view, whether as a complete laptop, a tethered screen, or other devices. I would like to see manufacturers come up with a further option: a Heads-Up Display.
This has been available in aircraft, notably combat fighters, for decades and rudamentary automotive applications have been creeping into the high-end car market. But I would like to see this expanded beyond just speedometers and other basic automotive metrics to include navigation tools. For instance, I would like to be able to project navigation graphics, such as Streets and Trips 2010's Full Screen Navigation mode, onto the inside of the windscreen in front of me, although not necessarily centered on my straight-ahead field of vision.
