I have a heads-up display in my Audi A4, and it turns out to be surprisingly useful. It shows speed limit, current speed, and upcoming navigation turns. The only problem is that it can be difficult to see if wearing polarized sunglasses.
Once you have speed & navigation on the windshield you don't look elsewhere for that information. It's easier and safer, so it feels like a new standard. When I drive other cars it's something that I really miss.
Yes that's one feature I really miss from my old Pontiac. I don't know why more manufacturers don't offer HUDs. It really does help improve safety by keeping the driver's eyes on the road.
It could highlight hazards and turn-offs, especially at night. And all the other data that the automated driving system collects. I bet it'd be safer even if you didn't switch to fully automatic. It'd be awesome. Maybe we can get it as an add on.
