Thats what i'm saying , I do not believe that a real time gps exhist that would provide instant information, Which is what would be needed in an application where a life is at stake. I think thats 5-10 years down the road.
IMO

Don't need it, don't want it. My dad's 'vette has it and it's nice but not necessary. IMO,just an added expense that could have been spent making a better quality car.

The laser marking the side of the road is cool, but wonder how long it will take to have the law suits rolling in.

And really, "Sign Recognition"????

I'll pass.

This is not the same HUD that is offered on the Corvette. It goes way beyond that.

I had a Pontiac that had the heads up display. It definetly did not interfear with driving or visibility. It was real neat but not worth the added cost

Will it draw cars and trucks on the road in front of you in the fog? That gives someone the feeling that they can drive too fast for the conditions.

Yep real distraction and sense of safety there.
