Head-Up Displays solve this by projecting the essential information on the windshield. So you don't have to move your eyes away from the road at all - and even when you're looking at the HUD data, you still have a view of the road, unlike those displays on the central column where the best you have is some peripheral vision.
Paired with a voice assistant, it could work nicely for the navigation. You say "navigate to $address", and HUD would show you the essential information for your next turn (rough distance, street or exit name, turn lanes).
- bluGill 5y agoThe problem isn't where the eyes are looking though, it is where the brain is focusing. HUD still distracts the brains focus. HUD is useful for essential information. I agree if it is only about turn left in X. However my radio (infotainment) has a lot of things a driver shouldn't have access to. Ever try to find the right genre of music for the trip?
- brokenmachine 5y agoI'm a driver and I want to be able to pick genres. All else being equal, if the driver of car X can pick genres and the driver of car Y can't, I'm buying car X.
