Holographic Head-up Display
-
HuDs, or Head-up Displays, give drivers vital information right in their field of vision. According to the website Technology Review, new innovations in holographic projection are making Head-up Displays much smaller. This improves safety by allowing the driver to gauge his speed or distance traveled without having to glance away from the road ahead.
