New vehicles are always coming out with updated tech and features. It can be overwhelming when you get into the drivers seat of a brand new vehicle when you’re used to the 2013 sedan you’ve had since college. New cars are beeping at you, vibrating your seat and steering wheel when you get too close into the lane next to you and some are even taking control of the wheel and driving for you! And what’s all that information I’m seeing displayed on my windshield!? Well, that is head-up display (HUD) and it is one of my favorite features! Let me tell you why.

What is head-up display?

Head-up display projects an image of information on the vehicles windshield just beneath the driver’s line of sight. It displays key information like current speed, speed limit, navigation instructions cruise control info and more! Many HUD are customizable so you can decide which information you want to see!

The main benefit of head-up display is to keep your eyes on the road and not wandering looking for pertinent information. Since the projection is right below your line of sight you don’t need to move your head to check things like speed, gas mileage, navigation, etc.
