Instead of letting you know you have arrived at your destination. It will be possible to simply outline your destination in your HUD.
GM has been working on a state of the art HUD system for their cars. The HUD system would use the entire Windshield as the background to display lasers. The lasers will be used to outline many things to help in the aid of driving. From the shoulders of a road, road signs, and possibly even that deer that is about to jump in the road. From the video the display looks almost straight from a video game. This sort of system might be the next step in driver aid, almost getting to those Jetson cars that navigate themselves.
The system uses a variety of on board sensors, radar, night vision, and cameras to gather the information for the display. It even uses a in cab camera to arrange the display based on the direction that the drivers head is turning. This will hopefully make drivers more aware of obstacles that might lay in their way, and make driving on todays roads that much more safe. Check it out over at Gizmodo
