Eventually, there's no good reason (other than economics) why car manufacturers couldn't go to a full HUD (heads-up-display), similar to what's found on military aircraft. A small projector and CPU could be embedded in the dash and project up on the windshield...hell, there are technologies in the works now for clear semiconductors, allowing the display to be right in the windshield itself.

If you were enterprising enough, I'm sure you could homebrew something with a DLP chip and a projector, linking it to a vehicle's onboard computer or a GPS unit. Real time speed, heading, altitude, even what that pesky "Check Engine" light meant if you had it interfaced to the OBD processor. Having it linked to a controller on the steering wheel would be the ultimate, you could flip through menus without ever having your eyes leave the road in front of you.

That article is just retarded. Yes, you could get distracted by adjusting your HU while driving down the road. However, that's one of the thousand things that can attract your attention away from the road. Lets just remove windows from the vehicle to avoid getting distracted by something on the roadside (such as a nice blonde walking down the sidewalk). And lets make food and make-up in cars illegal as to avoid people getting distracted while eating or putting on make-up while driving down the road. While we're at it, lets remove rear and side-view mirrors to avoid you watching what's happening behind you as opposed to infront of you. Lets make conversation illegal to avoid being distracted by an intense conversation. Oh, and lets ban children to avoid parents from getting distracted while driving (I was literally almost killed by a woman who ran a stop sign because she was distracted by her children.....and she did manage to kill the man driving down the road in front of me).
