#Hud

The Fear of Missing Out (or FOMO) is a real issue afflicting people today. Everyone sees all their friends’ cool social media updates and latest gadgets that make your current stuff seem obsolete.

A windshield head-up display, or HUD, is a beautiful thing.

The all-new head-up display will debut this spring on the Lincoln Continental.

Apple is reportedly developing a new head-up display system that will span nearly the entire windshield. 

Range Rover is updating its higher-end models with more technology including the company’s All-Terrain Progress Control system, which is designed to make off-road situations a walk in the park.

Toyota is the latest automaker to reveal its plans for a next-generation head-up display.

Believe it or not, imaging technology plays an important role in the cars and trucks we drive. No, this has nothing to do with the selfies you snap when you’re stuck in rush-hour traffic. Instead it involves advanced vehicle hardware.

In a continued effort to curb distracted driving, Garmin is offering a navigation system that uses a head-up display.

The head-up display (HUD) originated in the cockpit of fighter jets, but the technology has migrated to automobiles, and the take rate of HUDs is expected to rise by seven percent in 2013. 

Originally launched in 2004, BMW Heads-Up Display provides vital information such as vehicle speed and navigation instructions at the driver’s eye level on the windshield. According to BMW, the average driver takes about one second to read the information on the instrument cluster, essentially distracting a driver traveling at 30-mph for 13-feet. Their HUD is geared towards cutting that time in half, and BMW has now fine-tuned it even more, adding color and more intuitive symbols to the display.

There’s something really Chinese about the Volvo Concept You but I just can’t quite put my finger on it. And I’m actually Chinese.

That there is an oriental feel shouldn’t be a surprise. The Concept You is an evolution of the Concept Universe revealed earlier this year at Auto Shanghai earlier this year. Volvo sought the input of a number of potential Chinese customers at the Shanghai show, and a lot of those ideas were carried over into the You.

Volvo is, of course, now part of China’s Zheijiang Geely Motor Holdings, and part of the company’s focus is on capitalizing on the emerging luxury car market in the world’s most populous country.
