Heads-Up Display from GM

It seems that GM, despite its miserable failure to run a successful car company, is still innovating. Check out this cool heads-up display, which can even tag possible destinations. Vaguely reminiscent of Cadillac's black-and-white radar HUD introduced about 10 years ago, this is far superior and with any luck could actually be developed. It seems to me that this technology is the wave of the future, and not just for automated cars. Imagine a car that could pinpoint road hazards using a HUD, provide you a GPS map overlay in, say, the lower-left corner of the windshield, or even detect police cars/radar signatures. Racing (particularly rally) or police uses seem logical, and military applications could drive development. The possibilities are endless, and leave me hopeful that 21st-century automotive innovation is broader than merely re-engineering drive-by-wire systems and inventing better batteries.
