Projecting a head-up display onto your windshield is so passé; Autoglass reckons the future of digital driving is having augmented reality baked into the glass itself. The company has thrown together a video demo of what it believes the windshield of your car will be like in 2020, throwing in intelligent location-based services that can hunt down gas stations, flag up cyclists and pedestrians angling to get run over, and warn you when there’s a speed camera nearby.
There are also some reasonably distracting landmark indicators, along with links to the in-car entertainment system to let you know what music you’re listening to. It can even tell you the meal deals at the restaurants and pubs you’re passing.
With the advent of GPS navigation, paper maps are practically obsolete and people are slowly losing the skill of reading a map as they wait for their GPS to tell them to “make a right in 300 feet.” With how fast technology is advancing these days cars will drive themselves. Google certainly has made significant headway on developing a driverless car. Can you imagine transporting someone 50 years from the future 20 years into the past and handing them a map to navigate from point A to point B? The poor fella might as well give up as that skill would have been lost or never learned!
