If they didn't perform a serious packaging study, you can kiss thoughts of an AR HUD goodbye. I've been involved in projects where we retrofit an AR HUD to a vehicle with an existing HUD, and the discussion quickly turns to cutting cross-car beamsI have limited experience with HUD's, but love the simplicity of the one in the CX-5. It's always nice to have the option to use this type of assist or shut it off. The version shown in the earlier video seems very helpful.
With all of the technology coming our way in the Rivians, I'm hoping they will surprise us with an AR HUD that's truly robust and designed for adventure vehicles, preferably with optional voice command. It would be nice if the display actually told you not only the speed of the bear charging toward you from the front, but also the genus of that bear. "Mother Grizzly Bear approaching ? 12 o'clock at 24 mph (37 kph). Engaging 180ā° TankTurn ?. Canadian/Alaska border crossing now 800 ft (244 meters) ahead. Disregard gate and recently-visited RCM until he is between you and the Mama Bear. Moisture intrusion detected in driver's seat. Air-filtration engaged. Garment change in Gear Tunnel. Nationwide Insurance Claims Department being called now. Have a nice day!"
Keep in mind that there's only 2 vehicles on the market with AR HUDs:
- Mercedes S-Class
- Audi Q4 E-Tron
