You don't really need gauge at all, autonomous car or not. Seriously, in every day driving you need the speed and that's it. (even on a clutch ICE car, the RPM is really unnecessary unless you have a racing driving style) They have confirmed in some video that the odometer is within the visual field of the driver and actually very visible.
The rest of the information does not need constant visual presence, actually the GPS is probably more interesting than anything else.
I would still be surprised if there is no HUD provided with the car. You still need some very visible notification area for event like running out of juice or any kind of malfunction. Also there still some stuff the car are bad at doing like fog lights, or putting the light on in a foggy situation ( actually almost had a crash because of that - so use of the car switching the light on or off, forgot that fog during day or overcast weather are the same to a light sensor ) Also if the car is not 100% of the time autonomous, you need to be able to tell immediately if it is enabled or not.
