Cool or Creepy? GM Announces NextGen Heads Up Display

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

The geek part of me thinks this is really neat…and a little creepy.

GM has produced a system comprised of cameras to monitor the driver, night vision, radar, ultraviolet lasers, and GPS that will display of ton of useful data to the driver without them taking their hands off the wheel.  The system collect data on your surroundings, combines it with things like maps, landmarks, and GPS data and projects it on the windshield using ultraviolet lasers.

No more missing a speed limit sign or not being able to see the edge of the road in foggy conditions.

Check out this video of the system in action:

Pretty impressive stuff, huh?

I really like the integrated GPS display.  They are spot on with the “last 100 yards” issue.  I know this would reduce a lot of travelers headaches.

What do you think?  Cool or Creepy?
